Converting dates to strings

The method performs the same operation as JSON.stringify(), but converts date objects into strings according to the current webix.i18n.parseFormat, which is "%Y-%m-%d %H:%i:%s" for the default "en-US" locale. To alter it globally, follow the related article.

Usage in library

The method is used by Webix for the following operations:

• before sending data to server within the webix.ajax() stringify method;
• before saving data to a local, session or cookie storage.
