They are compared by their epoch nanoseconds. Equivalent to Temporal.Instant.compare(this, other) === 0. {{jsxref(\"Temporal/Instant/round\", \"Temporal.Instant.prototype.round()\")}} : Returns a new Temporal.Instant object representing this instant rounded to the given unit. {{jsxref(\"Temporal/Instant/since\", \"Temporal.Instant.prototype.since()\")}} : Returns a new {{jsxref(\"Temporal.Duration\")}} object representing the duration from another instant (in a form convertible by {{jsxref(\"Temporal/Instant/from\", \"Temporal.Instant.from()\")}}) to this instant. The duration is positive if the other instant is before this instant, and negative if after. {{jsxref(\"Temporal/Instant/subtract\", \"Temporal.Instant.prototype.subtract()\")}} : Returns a new Temporal.Instant object representing this instant moved backward by a given duration (in a form convertible by {{jsxref(\"Temporal/Duration/from\", \"Temporal.Duration.from()\")}}). {{jsxref(\"Temporal/Instant/toJSON\", \"Temporal.Instant.prototype.toJSON()\")}} : Returns a string representing this instant in the same RFC 9557 format as calling {{jsxref(\"Temporal/Instant/toString\", \"toString()\")}}. Intended to be implicitly called by {{jsxref(\"JSON.stringify()\")}}. {{jsxref(\"Temporal/Instant/toLocaleString\", \"Temporal.Instant.prototype.toLocaleString()\")}} : Returns a string with a language-sensitive representation of this instant. In implementations with Intl.DateTimeFormat API support, this method delegates to Intl.DateTimeFormat. {{jsxref(\"Temporal/Instant/toString\", \"Temporal.Instant.prototype.toString()\")}} : Returns a string representing this instant in the RFC 9557 format using the specified time zone. …\n\nAttribution: Adapted from MDN Web Docs under CC-BY-SA-2.5.
