I am getting this string as JSON can I convert it to JS date object?

Answer 1

Edit: Unfortunately i was totally wrong, sry for that,my bad, it happened to always result in today,
but to not screw you up, heres an solution which should work for you anyway
If you get Different Time strings from your Server, maybe the best way is to write a Regex pattern that matches your String patterns

• Access your date propertie from your JSON Object
• Since instantiating a Date object with this “Thu Dec 06 14:56:01 IST 2012” String would result in an Invalid Date
• Remove the “IST” myJson.date.replace(" IST","")
• Instantiate the your Date object with your new String myDate = new Date("Thu Dec 06 14:56:01 2012")
• Now theres really your Date Object

var myJson = {"date":"Thu Dec 06 14:56:01 IST 2012"}
var myDate = new Date(myJson.date.replace(" IST",""))
console.log(myDate.toLocaleDateString())

Heres the JSBin
