Question

so, i need format JSON date from this format

“9/30/2010 12:00:00 AM”, it is MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS to format like this : DD/MM/YYYY, so i dont need info about hours, min and sec, and i need replace months and days from json, i tried some different ways but it always failed

i need do this using jQuery

also i didnt find any answer to formating this date type, all i found was formating date like this :/Date(1224043200000)/

so anyone have idea?

Answer 1

you can create a Date Object from a string like so:

var myDate = new Date(dateString);

then you can manipulate it anyway you want, one way to get your desired output is:

var output = myDate.getDate() + "\\" +  (myDate.getMonth()+1) + "\\" + myDate.getFullYear();
