Unfortunately using a date type toJSON() result is not accurate. It first apply client timezone and then convert it to json string. In my scenario I am simply read from an API which return a none standard datetime string without its timezone (like "2020-11-21 00:00:00"), Then I try to convert it to a date using new Date("2020-11-21 00:00:00"). Then I use it in another web service but it apply my client timezone when I use JSON.stringify() method (or toJSON()). Does this behaviour is intentionally?


I read the other same question but I am not okay with it. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1414380

I started to Use (var myDate=new Date("2020-11-21 00:00:00");myDate.setHours(myDate.getHours()+6)) to compensate that effect!

As I read in the web, Date constructor does not cover timezone but getters of date object consider client time zone. Altough I think to json is not a simple client side getter since it has z at the end. The same think apply to toISOString() method which also consider client time zone! Of course the other alternative for my scenario is myDate.format("yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ")
