Parsing Dates and Numbers

To globalize your Wijmo application, include a reference to the appropriate culture file after loading Wijmo.

Dates are parsed using the Globalize.parseDate function, and numbers are parsed using the Globalize.parseFloat function.

This sample uses these methods to show the formats used by some of the supported cultures.
