I have dates stored using Parse.com backend. I retrieve them using JSON.stringify. Everything is working fantastic except for dates. I need to convert them to JavaScript dates. I understand that Parse.com stores dates in ISO 8601 format preceded by characters as in this example:
{"__type":"Date","iso":"2013-05-07T00:00:00.000Z"}
Could sure use some help on trying to convert above to standard JavaScript date. Thanks!
The iso8601 isn't an issue: see JavaScript Date ISO8601
As for getting the item out, don't use JSON.stringify, just access the part you need:
var d = {"__type":"Date","iso":"2013-05-07T00:00:00.000Z"};
d = new Date(d.iso);
For those who dont know how to get the date and the time from an input (Works in chrome, opera and safari) HTML code
<input type="date" id="thedate">
<input type="time" id="thetime">
Javascript code
var a = document.getElementById("thedate").value;
var b = document.getElementById("thetime").value;
x = a + 'T' + b + '+02:00'; //the +02:00 is because i live in Greece and we are +02:00 GMT! Choose your own.
var d = {"__type":"Date","iso":x};
d = new Date(d.iso);
