# AWSDateTime

The `AWSDateTime` scalar type provided by AWS AppSync, represents a valid \*\*\*extended\*\*\* [ISO 8601 DateTime](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601#Combined_date_and_time_representations) string. In other words, this scalar type accepts datetime strings of the form `YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.SSSZ`. The scalar can also accept "negative years" of the form `-YYYY` which correspond to years before `0000`. For example, "\*\*-2017-01-01T00:00Z\*\*" and "\*\*-9999-01-01T00:00Z\*\*" are both valid datetime strings. The field after the two digit seconds field is a nanoseconds field. It can accept between 1 and 9 digits. So, for example, "\*\*1970-01-01T12:00:00.2Z\*\*", "\*\*1970-01-01T12:00:00.277Z\*\*" and "\*\*1970-01-01T12:00:00.123456789Z\*\*" are all valid datetime strings. The seconds and nanoseconds fields are optional (the seconds field must be specified if the nanoseconds field is to be used). The [time zone offset](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601#Time_zone_designators) is compulsory for this scalar. The time zone offset must either be `Z` (representing the UTC time zone) or be in the format `±hh:mm:ss`. The seconds field in the timezone offset will be considered valid even though it is not part of the ISO 8601 standard.
