That's a format that a) can be parsed using the native [`Date`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date) b) can be compared lexically if you need — Bergi, Mar 16 '17 at 18:24

You could calculate the milliseconds:

var milliseconds = (new Date()).getTime() - Date.parse('2017-03-16T20:37:18.494Z');
