I′ve been using node-mongoskin to connect this two. Everything was ok until I queried some \"date\" field which I think should be returned as javascript′s Date
ISODate is the native way for mongo to store date. I use node-mongodb-native npm module and I store/retrieve javascript Date using new Date() idiom like in your examples. I don't know if it's a recent correction because I started node and Mongo in 2012, but using date was pretty straightforward for me.
