var tv4 = require('tv4'),
    formats = require('tv4-basic-formats'),
    assert = require('assert'),
    validator = tv4.freshApi(),
    schema = {type: 'string', format: 'date'};

validator.addFormat(formats);
assert(validator.validate('2014-02-11', schema));  // Valid ISO 8601 date
assert(!validator.validate('2014-02-29', schema)); // Invalid. Only 28 days in this February
