Date to json number after date

When i try to serialize a javascript date object to json, with JSON.stringify(), i get something like

"2014-10-27T15:00:00.000Z"

What is the T15 after 27 ? Is there a way to get always T00 ?

JSON.stringify uses toJSON javascript Date method. It returns an ISO-formatted date string for the UTC time zone (denoted by the suffix Z). So, if you want to get 00 hours, you have to set it by setUTCHours:

var date = new Date();
date.setUTCHours(0,0,0,0);

Check this link to see a working example.

Hope it's useful!

T appears in that string to indicate the beginning of time element, so T15:00:00, means 15 hours, 0 minutes and 0 seconds, so its THH:mm:ss

If you want to set hours, minutes and seconds to 0, then with javascript you could use setHours(), as

var d = new Date();
d.setHours(0,0,0,0);

It will set time to 00:00:00.000 of your timezone
