howler_js

Adding audio to a web project can be really a pain in the …. . Howler.js makes it almost painless to add audio for desktop or mobile solutions.

Just used the audio sprite feature in one of my projects to allow switching between sounds. Works perfectly on iOS after the first touch event.

The JSON spec allows integers, fractional numbers, strings, arrays, but when it comes to dates things are handled differently. There really is no date format in the JSON spec. Would be nice if every JSON date output would conform to ISO8601 :)

Some of these can easily be converted to a PHP timestamp using strtotime(), others require some more magic.

Due to the wide usage of JSON as an exchange format, I really hope we will see a spec update in the future :)
