Parse ASP Web API JSON Result: DateTime

Question

I am using jQuery ajax to call a Web API service. The response is Json something like this

     {"Id":2,"UserName":"first.last@email.com","CreatedDate":"2013-01-17T12:40:26.043","ExpireDate":"2023-01-17T12:40:26.043"}]

The question is: how do I bind the Createddate and Expiredate to jQuery DatePicker fields without time? So basically I need to set the value of the datepicker field something like: yyyy-mm-dd. The problem is how to parse this datetime format 2013-01-17T12:40:26.043 that will return just the yyyy-mm-dd ?

Answer 1

You can parse it simply doing this :

var yourDate = '2013-01-17T12:40:26.043';

var parsedDate = $.datepicker.parseDate('yyyy-mm-dd', yourDate.substr(0, 10));
