Bug #10587: Time#to_json != DateTime#to_json (Time#to_json not outputting iso8601)

• Status: Third Party's Issue

The output of this program is false:

require 'date'
require 'json'
now = Time.now
puts now.to_json == DateTime.parse(now.to_s).to_json

Testing in IRB shows why:

2.1.5 :004 > now.to_json
 => "\"2014-12-11 10:34:53 +0100\""
2.1.5 :005 > DateTime.parse(now.to_s).to_json
 => "\"2014-12-11T10:34:53+01:00\""

Time#to_json doesn't return an iso8601 conforming string whereas DateTime@to_json does.
