我是靠谱客的博主英勇大山，最近开发中收集的这篇文章主要介绍深入理解javascript的getTime()方法，觉得挺不错的，现在分享给大家，希望可以做个参考。

概述

1、理解getTime

getTime() 方法返回一个时间的格林威治时间数值。

可以使用这个方法把一个日期时间赋值给另一个Date 对象。

语法：

dateObj.getTime()
参数：

无。

返回值：

getTime 方法的返回值一个数值，表示从1970年1月1日0时0分0秒（UTC，即协调世界时）距离该日期对象所代表时间的毫秒数。

例子：

使用 getTime() 复制日期对象

创建一个拥有相同时间值的日期对象。

var birthday = new Date(1994, 12, 10);
var copy = new Date();
copy.setTime(birthday.getTime());

测试结果如下：

既然表示从1970年1月1日开始计算的毫秒数，如果小于1970年呢，会是什么情况？（测试结果如下，是负数）

2、应用场景

2.1 测量代码执行时间

连续调用两个新生成的日期对象的 getTime 方法，根据两次调用的返回值求得时间差。这可以用于计算某些操作的执行时间。

var end, start, i;
start = new Date();
for (i = 0; i < 100000; i++) {
 Math.sqrt(i);
}
end = new Date();

console.log("Operation took " + (end.getTime() - start.getTime()) + " msec");

在chrome浏览器中进行测试：

2.2 甘特图时间表示

最近在调整teamwork gantt中，发现，是一个task任务项的开始时间与结束时间，都是用一个整数表示，而该数值就是UTC表示法。格式如下：

{"tasks":[
   {"id":-1,"name":"Gantt editor","code":"","level":0,"status":"STATUS_ACTIVE","canWrite":true,"start":1396994400000,"duration":21,"end":1399672799999,"startIsMilestone":true,"endIsMilestone":false,"collapsed":false,"assigs":[],"hasChild":true}

   ],"selectedRow":0,"canWrite":true,"canWriteOnParent":true}

在甘特图中，使用getTime表示时间有以下优势：

计算两个时间差比较方便
数据存储结构比较简单
由于gantt涉及到画图，使用整型数据方便处理

3、浏览器的兼容性

使用js要收到浏览器的限制，不同浏览器对js类库的支持强弱也不同。而作为标准类库Date的一个方法，其适应的浏览器如下：
