Introduction

dojo.date contains methods for manipulating Javascript Date objects. The dojo.date.* methods are generally independent of String representations and are culturally neutral. There are two modules beneath dojo.date: dojo.date.stamp.*, for culturally neutral representations using a subset of the ISO-8601 standard, typically for unambiguous, machine-readable formatting and parsing of dates (e.g. 2008-10-16T23:59:59), and dojo.date.locale.*, for culturally-sensitive formatting and parsing of dates for human interaction (e.g. in English: Thursday, October 8, 2008 11:59:59PM)

Note that in JavaScript, counting of months starts at “0” so if you want to create following date: August 23rd 2034 you will have to do:

var myDate = new Date(2034,7,23);

So don't get confused by the new Date() statements in the tests, the second parameter is the month and is always one number lower than the month you actually want.
