<h1>Serialization and deserialization</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>This example shows how to serialize and deserialize JSON data, and load this in the Timeline via a DataSet. Serialization and deserialization is needed when loading or saving data from a server.</p>

// are Number (unix timestamp) or ASPDate.

// // now items.get() will automatically convert start and end to ISO dates.
