Convert a mySQL date to Javascript date

Question

What would be the best way to convert a mysql date format date into a javascript Date object?

mySQL date format is \'YYYY-MM-DD\' (ISO Format).

Answer 1

UNIX timestamp (milliseconds since the January 1, 1970) would be my preferred choice.

You can pass it around as an integer and use the JS setTime() method to make a JS Date object from it.
