[Rails-core] Feature request: Modify TimeWithZone#as_json to take in an option to exclude decimal fractions
Currently the TimeWithZone#as_json always returns 3 decimal points. However, the ISO 8601 standard also supports no decimal point format. It would be great to add an option to the as_json method to not include decimals. This would have several advantages. - By default, it still returns 3 decimal points. This is the widely used (e.g. by major browsers, Chrome, FF, Safari) option. - It would support the no decimal point format part of the ISO 8601 standard. - It allows Rails can communicate with APIs that is expecting no decimal formats when needed. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Ruby on Rails: Core group.

This appears to be possible on an application-wide basis as of 4.1.0: https://github.com/rails/rails/commit/c0965004486f2ea5a9656ba718a3377c9614f97d —Matt Jones signature.asc Description: Message signed with OpenPGP using GPGMail
