I have written some nodejs code and I am logging api call response timing. console.time() and Date.now() but I am not sure which one is better in performance and right to use.

Date.now() just returns the number of milliseconds from the linux Epoch, whereas console.time() is a shortcut to be used together with console.timeEnd(), normally used for measuring the time that takes some operation, for example:

console.time()
doSomething()
console.timeEnd()

The output will be something like:

default: 7042.885ms
