Dealing with JSON Dates in ASP.NET MVC
Most of the time, data transfer during Ajax communication is facilitated using JSON format. While JSON format is text based, lightweight and simple it doesn't offer many data types. The data types supported in JSON include string, number, boolean, array, object and null. This support for limited data types poses some difficulties while dealing with dates.
