Hi,

Why CBJSONEncoder: encodeNestedObject does not know encode NSDate?

Because it only encodes the standard JSON types: null/bool/number/string/array/dictionary.

(It's basically a replacement for NSJSONSerialization.)

Encoding other types is problematic because you don't get round-trip fidelity: if you encode an NSDate as a string, then it will decode back to an NSString, not an NSDate.
