What is the API type "date"? How does it behave?

I wonder what this data type exactly means.

Is it new? I hadn't seen it before. Until today, I was using a "Text" type with a Regex pattern filter to enforce my ISO 8601 dates.

A few questions:

  • How does the `date` type compares to `text`?

  • What patterns are being enforced?

  • Does it support multiple date formats? Which ones?
