Converting json results to a date [duplicate]

_x000D_ 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
