Convert unix timestamp to javascript date Object [duplicate]
This question already has answers here : How do I format a Microsoft JSON date? (40 answers) Closed 5 years ago . Am working with json api that represents dates like this "date" : "/Date(1356081900000)/" I want to turn this into regular javascript Date. The only way I can think of solving this problem is to do a replace on everything leaving the timestamp which I can then "convert". This works but it just looks wrong. My question. Can I do this in better way? UPDATE unix_timestamp = jsonDate.replace('/Date(', '').replace(')/', ''); newDate = new Date(+unix_timestamp + 1000*3600); antila
