| Summary | 0005862: date format is weird and unnecessary | ||||
| Description | Parsing and creating it is annoying. There is no real reason for the weird stamp_expire: "/Date(123234)/" shenanigans. Either we shoud use a number, a string, or some actual JSON wrapper, like stamp_expire: { timestamp_sec: 1234 } which would be easier to parse and generate, and convey the same information with less weirdness. | ||||

Hmm. I thought the current "/Date(X)/" had been created based on quite *extensive* discussions between us, with you basically pushing for exactly this format for various JS-related reasons (and other constraints). Addendum: [1] https://weblogs.asp.net/bleroy/dates-and-json was the original reasoning. Reasons why we don't just have a number is that it is unclear: is it a time?, also relative time vs. absolute time, and which unit (seconds, nanoseconds, etc.). Reasons to not use the nested JSON like timestamp_sec include it being even longer, and not really simplifying parsing. |

New date format has been implemented (in GNUnet util) and documented (https://docs.taler.net/core/api-common.html#timestamps). Some test cases in the merchant are still failing because of the change (see 0005997), but closing this one because that's mainly due to the inadequacy of these test cases. |
