Handling RFC 3339 dates #1

Open benjcunningham opened 8 years ago

benjcunningham commented 8 years ago

I'm not especially interested in converting dates and times on the way in, but they're not something you can really ignore on the way out. So while not a top concern, it might be a good idea to make available some convenience functions for coercing dates, times, and time zones to RFC 3339 strings.

For reference, the IETF spec and some examples:

5.8. Examples

   Here are some examples of Internet date/time format.

      1985-04-12T23:20:50.52Z

   This represents 20 minutes and 50.52 seconds after the 23rd hour of
   April 12th, 1985 in UTC.

      1996-12-19T16:39:57-08:00

   This represents 39 minutes and 57 seconds after the 16th hour of
   December 19th, 1996 with an offset of -08:00 from UTC (Pacific
   Standard Time).  Note that this is equivalent to 1996-12-20T00:39:57Z
   in UTC.
