Date parsing JSON

gistfile1.js

JSON._dateReviver = function (k,v) {
  if (v.length !== 24 || typeof v !== 'string') return v
  try {return new Date(v)} 
  catch(e) {return v}
}

JSON.parseWithDates = function (obj) {
  return JSON.parse(obj, JSON._dateReviver);
}

@polotek, good point though.

what i was trying to say was, if you override it globally and then use someone else's library which internally uses JSON.parse they will get results they are not expecting, which would be very bad. if you want it to be this way in your code just always use this JSON function but don't override the global.

How's this?

JSON._dateReviver = function (k,v) {
  if (v.length !== 24 || typeof v !== 'string') return v
  try {return new Date(v)} 
  catch(e) {return v}
}

JSON.parseWithDates = function (obj) {
  return JSON.parse(obj, JSON._dateReviver);
}

stealing.

i'd use JSON.dateyParse or JSON.timeyParse or something fun like that. think rachel ray: yummo! sammies!

JSON.dateParsely fits standard naming convention

`JSON.parseyDate`? kinda like parsley and dates! On Apr 26, 2012, at 7:13 PM, Max [email protected] wrote: i'd use `JSON.dateyParse` or `JSON.timeyParse` or something fun like that. think rachel ray: yummo! sammies!

How about dateify? I've always thought stringify was weird so why not keep up the tradition?
