Groovy: compare the date format

I want to compare the date from json 1 & json 2 and display if its match or not in this array.

Json1 : {"prods": [{"Item":"11","date": "2018-08-08"}
Json2: {"prods": [{"Item":"12","date": 1533700800000}

    This is the code that allows you to compare the dates:

     

    import java.text.SimpleDateFormat

// Get timestamp
def timestamp = 1533700800000
// Set a date using the timestamp
def date = new Date( timestamp )
// Create a date format as desired
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat( "yyyy-MM-dd" )

// Get the other date
secondDate = "2018-08-08"

assert dateFormat.format( date ).equals(secondDate)

    Let me know if you also need help with the JSON extraction. I am a little busy now so I can't promise anything though.

      Lucian, I wanted to read the date(milliseconds) from each array of Json1(convert this date to yyyy-mm-dd)

      and compare it with Json2 date (yyyy-mm-dd) of each array.
