How to format a JSON date?
I have the following result from a $getJSON call from JavaScript. How do I convert the start property to a proper date in JavaScript?
[ {"id":1,"start":"/Date(1238540400000)/"}, {"id":2,"start":"/Date(1238626800000)/"} ]
Thanks!

To represent dates in JavaScript, JSON uses ISO 8601 string format to encode dates as a string. Dates are encoded as ISO 8601 strings and then treated just like a regular string when the JSON is serialized and deserialized.
JSON Dates are not dates – they are Strings You can represent strings, numbers, Booleans and even objects, arrays and RegEx expressions with language specific literals, but there's no equivalent literal representation for dates.
stringify changes time of date because of UTC with JavaScript, we can use JSON. parse to convert the date back to its original format. let currentDate = new Date(); currentDate = JSON. stringify(currentDate); currentDate = new Date(JSON.
JSON Stringify changes time of date because of UTC.
You need to extract the number from the string, and pass it into the Date constructor:
var x = [{ "id": 1, "start": "\/Date(1238540400000)\/" }, { "id": 2, "start": "\/Date(1238626800000)\/" }]; var myDate = new Date(x[0].start.match(/\d+/)[0] * 1); The parts are:
x[0].start - get the string from the JSON x[0].start.match(/\d+/)[0] - extract the numeric part x[0].start.match(/\d+/)[0] * 1 - convert it to a numeric type new Date(x[0].start.match(/\d+/)[0] * 1)) - Create a date object If you love us?
