Hello everyone,

If you have a particular interest in the fascinating topic of how to
represent dates in JSON responses of REST APIs such as Fineract's, and
therefore have opinions about the code change proposed in
https://github.com/apache/fineract/pull/816 which modifies the format in
which certain dates are returned by the API in an incompatible way, then
please read https://jira.apache.org/jira/browse/FINERACT-926 for full
background, and comment either directly in that JIRA, or on this thread.

The short version is that I'm proposing that certain date fields in
Fineract's JSON API (those that internally come from java.util.Date
instances, only) be formatted in ISO-8601 format e.g.
"2011-12-03T10:15:30Z" instead of as e.g. "May 3, 2020 10:51:19 PM", as
they are currently. If this could break any of your clients interpreting
such Date fields, please shout now.

NB that this this will NOT at all affect other date fields, such as those
currently already formatted as e.g. "[2020, 05, 04]" (which internally come
from org.joda.time.LocalDate instances).

Tx,
M.
