<h3>Updating Dates and Numbers</h3>
<h4>Dates</h4>
<p>Dates are returned in GET requests as an array e.g. [ 2007, 4, 11]. However, they are sent as strings in POST and PUT requests.
If there are any dates in your POST or PUT requests, you need to provide the "dateFormat".
<p>Dates are returned in GET requests as an array e.g. [ 2007, 4, 11]. However, the API accepts them as strings in POST and PUT requests.
If there are any dates in your POST or PUT requests, you need to provide the "locale" and "dateFormat".
This can be any date pattern supported by <a href="http://joda-time.sourceforge.net/api-release/org/joda/time/format/DateTimeFormat.html">Joda-Time</a>.
This capability can help you when saving data in your client application as you shouldn't need to do any date format conversion prior to issuing your POST or PUT request.
