I have to validate that a field in request of a Rest API is having YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sssZ format. Any help is most welcome.

TIA

    I would use a "Regular Expression Assertion" in a JSON/XML Assertor tool.
    The Diff tool's Text mode also has a "Regular Expresion" option.

    For ISO 8601 or RFC3339 date-time format, I've used a regex like this. I have it split across multiple lines for readability but you would normally put it all on one line:

    -?([1-9][0-9]{3,}|0[0-9]{3})
-(0[1-9]|1[0-2])
-(0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])
T(([01][0-9]|2[0-3]):[0-5][0-9]:[0-5][0-9](\.[0-9]+)?|(24:00:00(\.0+)?))
(Z|(\+|-)((0[0-9]|1[0-3]):[0-5][0-9]|14:00))?
