We could also consider a 4th choice, I.e. when converting date to string in
the wrapper add extra flag to the string such that when it is decoded the
wrapper will again convert the JSON decoded string to a date value. This of
course means that the string coded by JSON will read something like:
{DATE}YYYYMMDD
and it will therefore not be usable by other JSON decoders unless they
expect such convention.
