I really wish it had a format for dates.

ISO 8601 [0] defines the standard for data elements and interchange formats. It's widely supported on all major programming languages.

The only issue is having to manually convert the string.

It's not defined as the standard date representation for JSON, nor is anything else, so every library does its own incompatible thing.

I use just a "time" number for it (but I also do not have dates before 1970)

Well the fact that you and the other guy offered different "standards" to use is kind of exactly my point.
