Hi,
jingo doesn't properly serialize a struct like
it will serialize it into
{}
Using "stringer" doesn't help either, it's not the "right" json format. "encoder" also isn't of much help because you can't define
JSONEncode(*jingo.Buffer)
on a non-local type.And embedding time.Time into a local type and rewriting everything that accesses that type isn't a very clean solution either
But time.Time already implements the json.Marshaler interface which provides []byte. If fits rather nicely.
Do you think this is a reasonable approach? If so I'll add some tests and continue on this path..
