Solution

  • This is the expected behavior, what you see is how it's converted when you ask for JSON.

    You can explicitly format it with ->format('Y-m-d\TH:i:s.uP T') or whatever other format or you can change globally how it's converted to string when a Carbon object is returned in a JSON response.
