How to handle custom time formats in json

parse_json_time.go

type MyTime struct {
    time.Time
}

func (self *MyTime) UnmarshalJSON(b []byte) (err error) {
    s := string(b)

    // Get rid of the quotes "" around the value.
    // A second option would be to include them
    // in the date format string instead, like so below: 
    //   time.Parse(`"`+time.RFC3339Nano+`"`, s) 
    s = s[1:len(s)-1]

    t, err := time.Parse(time.RFC3339Nano, s)
    if err != nil {
        t, err = time.Parse("2006-01-02T15:04:05.999999999Z0700", s)
    }
    self.Time = t
    return
}

type Test struct {
    Time MyTime `json:"time"`
}
