In that case, why do you still ask ? :-)

Like I said, there is no standard, it really depends on the code in the browser what to send best.
(I assume, of course, that the JSON is sent to a browser).  Sending as text has the advantage that 
you can check your server responses visually and see what date/time is sent. 
A float like 45685.25 is a valid timestamp, but which date/time is it ?
