Date reading and writing

Yes, always a mess ... we wrote our own code ...

And as always ... Gemstone/S is based on ICU libraries, they have all stuff available to use these low-level mainstream libraries but they hide it everywhere ... it would be really nice, if they have a way of accessing their with the product delivered libraries.

As with TimeStamps - I decided to go with RFC3339 format - so our libraries in C#, Java, Python and Javascript are able to read these data.

Hi All,

I use a bunch of frameworks like Magritte, NeoCSV, NeoJSON and others that all write dates based on aDate-#asString (which formats dates in USA date format) and read based on Date-#readFrom: (which reads expecting USA date format).

Since the USA is the only country that uses this format, how is everyone else dealing with it?

Overriding date printing and reading in each framework seems counter-productive and fraught with error, as does replacing #asString and #readFrom: in Date itself.

There doesn’t appear to be Date related stuff in Locale, so I’m guessing I’m missing something simple here :)

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

Jupiter
