Converting moment.js to JSON shows incorrect time

I have a method which sets the created property of my token, like so:

const token = new Token();
console.log(moment().toDate());
token.created = moment().toDate().toJSON();

There's something I just can't get my head around and it's really confusing me.

The line console.log(moment().toDate()); prints Tue Sep 01 2020 14:11:39 GMT+0100 but when I check the property created on debugger although it's using the same moment object and methods (except from calling toJSON()) it produces a date time which is an hour behind like so: 2020-09-01T13:11:39.179Z

I store the moment date as a string in the created property because this will be stored in localStorage.

Does anyone know the reason for this?

The times are the same. Look closely.

One marks the time zone as Z, the other as GMT+1.

Those time zones are 1 hour apart.

You can specify the time zone
