ISO 8601

forked from: https://godoc.org/github.com/uudashr/iso8601

JSON time serialization support ISO 8601 specification.

time.Time type embedded into iso8601.Time - easier to work with when mostly using for unmarshalling json

Installation

go get github.com/kaido42/iso8601

Usage

Use the time Layout (same with time.RFC3339Nano)

import "time"

func parseTime(s string) (t time.Time, err error) {
    t, err = time.Parse(iso8601.Layout, s)
    return
}

Use it on struct

import (
    "fmt"
    "json"
    "time"
)

type Event struct {
    Name string `json:"name"`
    OccuredOn iso8601.Time `json:"occuredOn"`
}

now := time.Now()
event := Event {Name: "Sign In", iso8601.Time(Time:now)}
b, _ := json.Marshal(event)    
fmt.Println(string(b)) // show the marshalled struct

Unmarshal into struct

import (
    "time"
)

type Event struct {
    Name string `json:"name"`
    OccuredOn iso8601.Time `json:"occuredOn"`
}

source := "{\"name\":\"test\",\"occuredOn\":\"2002-10-02T10:00:00-05:00\"}"
var event Event
json.Unmarshal(source, &event)

fmt.Prinln("occured at unixtime: %d", event.OccuredOn.Unix())
