title: Swagger and Date
body: <p>I'm new to swagger and writing my first spec. I've found following swagger "date" types*:</p>
  
  <pre><code>------------------------------------------------
  | Common name        |  Swagger spec 1.2       |
  ------------------------------------------------
  | string             |  string                 |
  ------------------------------------------------
  | date               | string, date            |
  ------------------------------------------------
  | dateTime           | string, date-time       |
  ------------------------------------------------
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now my timestamp looks like <code>2014-12-09T13:06:08.260+0000</code> is this even a Date? It doens't look like the date javascript <code>new Date();</code> returns. I also haven't found a date type in the <a href="http://json.org/" rel="noreferrer">json specification</a>.</p>
  
  <p>Which type and format should i take, will it be better to take string instead of a date??</p>
  
  <p>*: note this table is the short version from the <a href="https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-core/wiki/Datatypes" rel="noreferrer">swager wiki</a></p>
