(sorry for the duplicate)
JSON doesn't specify a way of encoding dates. See http://json.org/
You have to convert your date to a string first, like this:
racket> (jsexpr->string (date->string (current-date)))
"\"Sat Jan 05 11:20:35-0700 2013\""
Your Javascript code can then just parse the JSON string:
javascript> new Date("Sat Jan 05 11:20:14-0700 2013")
Sat Jan 05 2013 11:20:14 GMT-0700 (MST)
javascript> new Date("Sat Jan 05 11:20:14-0700 2013").getFullYear()
2013
Or you can convert your date to a dictionary or something. It depends on
how your application parses dates.
