From my experience, if you can’t guarantee the given parameter dateStr is a valid date you should check for NaN using isNaN(i).
Many thanks for the useful example!

Have fun

Great tip, thanks!

The only thing your function doesn’t deal with is the “null” ISO date: 0001-01-01T00:00:00. I would have expected this function to return a null Date object if it were passed this String.

public static function parseIsoDate(dateStr:String):Date
{
	dateStr = dateStr.replace(/-/g, "/");
	dateStr = dateStr.replace("T", " ");
	dateStr = dateStr.replace("Z", " GMT-0000");
	const i:Number = Date.parse(dateStr);

	if (i < 0)
	{
		return null;
	}
	else
	{
		return new Date(i);
	}
}
