I'm not familiar with Backbone but isn't `model.toJSON()` unnecessarily removing useful data types (like Date) that aren't available in JSON ?

- papercrane 14y agoYou're probably thinking of `JSON.stringify()`. `model.toJSON()` just returns a clone of the models attributes object.
- zimbatm 14y agoSo `model.toJSON()` isn't supposed to return a JSON-compatible data structure ?
- papercrane 14y agoIt's supposed to return an object that is suitable for turning into JSON, but it won't convert any of items members. JSON.stringify relies on the toJSON functions of the members to serialize themselves.
