JSON DST Time

Google App Engine project returns the UTC and localized datetime object as JSON for a given datetime and timezone. The response includes whether the timezone was observing daylight savings on the date queried.

Idea spawned from Simon Willison’s json-time http://github.com/simonw/json-time/

Arguments

tz the Olson recognised timezone. e.g. EDT or Europe/London. Case is important!
dt the datestring to be processed

Examples

  1. query http://json-dsttime.appspot.com to get the current datetime in utc
  2. query http://json-dsttime.appspot.com?to_tz=Europe/London to get the current datetime in the Europe/London timezone
  3. query http://json-dsttime.appspot.com?to_tz=Europe/London&dt=2009-09-21T10:00 to get the localized datetime for Europe/London at 10am on 21 September 2009
  4. query http://json-dsttime.appspot.com?to_tz=Europe/London&from_tz=US/Pacific&dt=10:00 to find out what time 10am today in US/Pacific is in Europe

General Notes

This is alpha 1 thrown together in a couple of hours to learn how App Engine works. There’s probably a couple of things which could go wrong that I haven’t trapped for yet. If you find any add them to the issues page and i’ll fix them up.
