Why parse date not return as a string?

Question

I query date from parse and see that my date type column return as json object

newsPublishDate: {
__type: "Date"
iso: "2015-10-20T11:41:00.000Z"
}

while createdAt column also a date type but return a String

createdAt: "2015-10-24T11:38:14.766Z"

how can i make parse return my date column as a string? thank you so much.

Huh, interesting never noticed this before... I guess you could convert it back into a date, but that doesn't really answer your question — hhanesand

i have changed date type to string type in parse. so the json return will be simpler. — MichaelP

@MichaelP try newsPublishDate.iso assuming the name of the variable that contains the JSON object is called newsPublishDate.
