title: How to represent date and/or time information in JSON?
body: <p>JSON text (<a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4627.txt?number=4627" rel="noreferrer">RFC 4627</a>) has unambigious representation of objects, arrays, strings, numbers, Boolean values (literally <code>true</code> or <code>false</code>) and <code>null</code>. However, it has nothing defined for representing time information like date and time of day, which is very common in applications. What are the current methods in use to represent time in JSON given the constraints and grammar laid out in <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4627.txt?number=4627" rel="noreferrer">RFC 4627</a>?</p>
