That's incorrect, JSON uses Javascript dates, with added timezone information-- the epoch is the same as the javascript Date class's epoch (for obvious reasons).

@BrainSlug83 - this answer provides a reference for the assertion that JSON doesn't have a built-in date type. If you disagree, please provide an alternative reference. (You're not thinking of a specific framework that has decided on a string format to represent dates are you? That's not part of the JSON standard, indeed it couldn't be because it would make it impossible to include a string that is not supposed to be taken as a date but that happens to have a set of characters that match the date pattern.)
