Date Conversion .net Json To Iso

How can I convert a date time format from JSON.Net such as: /Date(1154970000000+0700)/ To ISO-?? format 2011-12-18T23:34:59Z Preferably in either Python or Javascript. Ive decided

[Replacement answer]

Here is a Python 2.x version. Only the print statements in the testing section need to be changed for Python 3.x.

As far as I can ascertain by googling: The main component is milliseconds since 1970-01-01. It can be negative. A + sign is NOT expected for positive numbers. This can be followed by an OPTIONAL offset from UTC, which consists of 5 characters: an mandatory sign (+ or -), 2 digits for hours, and 2 digits for minutes. All of the above is preceded by "/Date(" and followed by ")/".

This answer provides a function to convert the JSON.NET string to a Python datetime.datetime (timestamp) object, and 2 functions to return ISO format truncated to seconds and milliseconds respectively.

Script:

# /Date(1154970000000+0700)/# 0123456............7654321# without timezone:# /Date(1154970000000)/# 0123456............21# dodgy case# /Date(-1234)/# 3210987654321import datetime

defjson_date_as_datetime(jd):
    sign = jd[-7]
    if sign notin'-+'orlen(jd) == 13:
        millisecs = int(jd[6:-2])
    else:
        millisecs = int(jd[6:-7])
        hh = int(jd[-7:-4])
        mm = int(jd[-4:-2])
        if sign == '-': mm = -mm
        millisecs += (hh * 60 + mm) * 60000return datetime.datetime(1970, 1, 1) \
        + datetime.timedelta(microseconds=millisecs * 1000)

defdatetime_as_iso(dt):
    return dt.strftime("%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ") # truncatesdefdatetime_as_iso_ms(dt): # with millisecs as fractionreturn dt.strftime("%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%%03dZ") \
        % (dt.microsecond // 1000) # truncate    if __name__ == "__main__":

    tests = """\
    /Date(1154970000000+0700)/
    /Date(-1234)/

    """.splitlines()

    for test in tests:
        test = test.strip()
        ifnot test: continue
        d = json_date_as_datetime(test)
        print datetime_as_iso_ms(d), test

Output:

Solution 2:

jsonDate = "/Date(1154970000000+0700)/";

var strDate = parseInt(jsonDate.replace(/\/Date\(([-\d]+).*$/, "$1"));
var strHour = parseInt(jsonDate.replace(/.*\d([+-]\d\d).*$/, "$1"), 10);
var strMin = parseInt(jsonDate.replace(/.*\d([+-])\d\d(\d\d).*$/, "$1$2"), 10);

var date = newDate(strDate);
if (!isNaN(strHour)) date.setHours(date.getHours() + strHour);
if (!isNaN(strMin)) date.setMinutes(date.getMinutes() + strMin);

var out = date.toISOString();

And the function to convert to ISO:

var toISOString = Date.prototype.toISOString ?
    function(d){return d}:
    (function(){
        functiont(i){return i<10?"0"+i:i};
        functionh(i){return i.length<2?"00"+i:i.length<3?"0"+i:3<i.length?Math.round(i/Math.pow(10,i.length-3)):i};
        functiontoISOString(){
            return"".concat(
                this.getUTCFullYear(), "-",
                t(this.getUTCMonth() + 1), "-",
                t(this.getUTCDate()), "T",
                t(this.getUTCHours()), ":",
                t(this.getUTCMinutes()), ":",
                t(this.getUTCSeconds()), ".",
                h("" + this.getUTCMilliseconds()), "Z"
            );
        };
        returnfunction(d){
            d.toISOString = toISOString;
            return d;
        }
    })();

Solution 3:

Returns timezone aware datetimes and provides correct output for John Machin's test cases and "/Date(1428145200000+1200)/"

Python >3.3 compatible. For 2.7, use pytz.utc instead of datetime.timezone.utc.

from datetime import datetime, timedelta, timezone
import re


defjsondate(jsondate, tzinfo=timezone.utc):
    """Converts an ASP.NET json date: "/DATE(x)/" to tz-aware datetime object."""

    regex = (
        r"/Date\("r"(?P<milleseconds>[\-]?\d+)"r"(?P<offset>"r"(?P<offset_sign>[\+\-])"r"(?P<offset_hours>[01][0-9]|2[0-3])"r"(?P<offset_mins>[0-5][0-9])"r")?\)/"
    )
    try:
        parts = re.match(regex, jsondate).groupdict()
    except (AttributeError, TypeError):
        raise ValueError("Unsupported ASP.NET JSON Date Format: %s" % jsondate)

    since_epoch = timedelta(microseconds=1000 * int(parts['milleseconds']))
    if parts.get('offset'):
        since_epoch += timedelta(
            hours=int("%s%s" % (parts['offset_sign'], parts['offset_hours'])),
            minutes=int("%s%s" % (parts['offset_sign'], parts['offset_mins']))
        )
    return datetime(year=1970, month=1, day=1, tzinfo=tzinfo) + since_epoch

Solution 4:

Here's a little class I wrote years ago to clean up this sort of invalid JSON that some .NET library generates:

classDotNETDecoder(simplejson.JSONDecoder):
    '''
    This is a decoder to convert .NET encoded JSON into python objects
    The motivation for this is the way .NET encodes dates.
    See:
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb299886.aspx#intro_to_json_topic2
    .NET encodes datetimes like this: "\/Date(628318530718)\/"
    '''def__init__(self, timezone, *args, **kwargs) -> None:
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.parse_string = self._date_parse_string(timezone)
        self.scan_once = py_make_scanner(self)

    @staticmethoddef_date_parse_string(timezone):
        def_parse_string(string, idx, encoding, strict):
            obj = scanstring(string, idx, encoding, strict)
            ifisinstance(obj[0], str):
                match = date_match.search(obj[0])
                if match:
                    return [dt.datetime.fromtimestamp(
                                int(match.group(1)) / 1000, timezone),
                            obj[1]]
            return obj
        return _parse_string

And a test case / example:

deftest_can_decode_dotnet_json_dates():                                                                                                                                                                     
    jsonstr = '{"date": "Date(1330848000000)", "f": "b", "l": [], "i": 5}'                                                                                                                                   
    timezone = pytz.timezone('America/New_York')                                                                                                                                                             
    obj = json.loads(jsonstr, cls=DotNETDecoder, timezone=timezone)                                                                                                                                          
    assert obj['date'] == timezone.localize(dt.datetime(2012, 3, 4, 3, 0))                                                                                                                                   
    assert obj['f'] == "b"assert obj['i'] == 5assert obj['l'] == []
