JavaScript Date.toJSON() Method
In JavaScript, the date.toJSON() method changes the date mentioned in a date object into a date and time of the ISO standard.
The date.toJSON() method uses the ISO standard to convert the date object into a string without any parameter. This method uses the YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.sssZ format to change the date and time.

Using ISO standards, this method takes a date object to return a string.
