find the creation date of a json file in ruby

To find the creation date of a JSON file in Ruby, you can use the File::Stat class to get the file's metadata, including its creation time. Here's an example:

main.rb
filename = 'example.json'
stat = File.stat(filename)
creation_time = stat.birthtime # returns the creation time
puts "The JSON file was created on #{creation_time}."

5 lines

In this example, we first define the filename of the JSON file we want to check. Then we use File.stat to get the file's metadata and store it in the stat variable. We can then access the file's creation time using the birthtime method of the File::Stat object, which returns a Time object. Finally, we print out the creation time using puts.
