I tried parsing the date string \"2014-09-12T11:45:26.371Z\" in Go.

Code

layout := \"2014-09-12T11:45:26.371Z\"
str :=

    If you have worked with time/date formatting/parsing in other languages you might have noticed that the other languages use special placeholders for time/date formatting. For eg ruby language uses

    %d for day
    %Y for year
    

    etc. Golang, instead of using codes such as above, uses date and time format placeholders that look like date and time only. Go uses standard time, which is:

    Mon Jan 2 15:04:05 MST 2006  (MST is GMT-0700)
    or 
    01/02 03:04:05PM '06 -0700
    

    So if you notice Go uses

    01 for the day of the month,
    02 for the month
    03 for hours,
    04 for minutes
    05 for second
    and so on
    

    Therefore for example for parsing 2020-01-29, layout string should be 06-01-02 or 2006-01-02.

    You can refer to the full placeholder layout table at this link - https://golangbyexample.com/parse-time-in-golang/

    Use the exact layout numbers described here and a nice blogpost here.

    so:

    layout := "2006-01-02T15:04:05.000Z"
    str := "2014-11-12T11:45:26.371Z"
    t, err := time.Parse(layout, str)
    
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
    }
    fmt.Println(t)
    

    gives:

    >> 2014-11-12 11:45:26.371 +0000 UTC
    

    I know. Mind boggling. Also caught me first time. Go just doesn't use an abstract syntax for datetime components (YYYY-MM-DD), but these exact numbers (I think the time of the first commit of go Nope, according to this. Does anyone know?).

    I will suggest using time.RFC3339 constant from time package. You can check other constants from time package. https://golang.org/pkg/time/#pkg-constants

    package main
    
    import (
        "fmt"
        "time"
    )
    
    func main() {
        fmt.Println("Time parsing");
        dateString := "2014-11-12T11:45:26.371Z"
        time1, err := time.Parse(time.RFC3339,dateString);
        if err!=nil {
        fmt.Println("Error while parsing date :", err);
        }
        fmt.Println(time1); 
    }

    The layout to use is indeed "2006-01-02T15:04:05.000Z" described in RickyA's answer.
    It isn't "the time of the first commit of go", but rather a mnemonic way to remember said layout.
    See pkg/time:

    The reference time used in the layouts is:

    Mon Jan 2 15:04:05 MST 2006
    

    which is Unix time 1136239445.
    Since MST is GMT-0700, the reference time can be thought of as

     01/02 03:04:05PM '06 -0700
    

    (1,2,3,4,5,6,7, provided you remember that 1 is for the month, and 2 for the day, which is not easy for an European like myself, used to the day-month date format)

    As illustrated in "time.parse : why does golang parses the time incorrectly?", that layout (using 1,2,3,4,5,6,7) must be respected exactly.

    This might be super late, but this is for people that might stumble on this problem and might want to use external package for parsing date string.

    I've tried looking for a libraries and I found this one:

    https://github.com/araddon/dateparse

    Example from the README:

    package main
    
    import (
        "flag"
        "fmt"
        "time"
    
        "github.com/apcera/termtables"
        "github.com/araddon/dateparse"
    )
    
    var examples = []string{
        "May 8, 2009 5:57:51 PM",

    As answered but to save typing out "2006-01-02T15:04:05.000Z" for the layout, you could use the package's constant RFC3339.

    str := "2014-11-12T11:45:26.371Z"
    t, err := time.Parse(time.RFC3339, str)
    
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
    }
    fmt.Println(t)
