How to deserialize date format in JSON date string?

This question someone is already asking and solution is with JavaScriptConverter (.NET) but how can I convert normal date into JSON date string with java script.

For example I have a formated date "12-12-2012" and I want to get string something like this example:

/Date(1354316400000+0100)/

Icky, awful format, and clumsy slow serializer. (IMHO)

On the server, use Json.Net and its default ISO8601 formatted dates instead.

On the client, use moment.js. It will handle all of the parsing and formatting you could want.

For posterity, if you want to output this format using moment.js, you can do one of these:

moment().format("[/Date](XSSS)/");   // /Date(1198908717056)/

moment().format("[/Date](XSSSZZ)/"); // /Date(1198908717056-0700)/

s = "12-12-2012".split("-");
epoch = Date.parse(s[2] + "-" + s[0] + "-" + s[1]);
output = "/Date(" + epoch + ")/";

if you need the timezone offset, you can use .getTimezoneOffset() on the Date Object and add that to your output string.
