Store `new Date ()` in JSON object

Question

I have the following field validator object:

{ type:'date', 'min':new Date() }

I was hoping that I could store new Date() as an expression in JSON and it would be executed when it's parsed

Answer 1

save the timestamp:

{ type:'date', 'min':(new Date()).getTime() }

then you read it back:

var result = JSON.parse('{ "type":"date", "min":1234567 }');
result.date = new Date(result.min);

Note: the server you use to serialize it and the server you use to deserialize it has to run in the same timezone
