Convert UTC Epoch to local date with javascript

In my project, I am receiving a JSON. it contains one field like

"displayDate":"1349137055814",

How can I convert to user readable (understandable, to be specific ;) ) form? For eg mm-dd-yyyy

And what is this format?

So millisecond epoch time; http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4631928/convert-utc-epoch-to-local-date-with-javascript — Alex K., Oct 09 '12 at 10:35

new Date(milliseconds) creates a new date object using your millseconds value.

You can then use getYear, getDate, toLocaleFormat() or toUTCString to get your correct format.

You can convert it to a date using the Javascript Date object.

// Assuming 'result' contains your JSON

var myDate = new Date(result.displayDate);

Use it this way

var d = new Date(1349137055814);
alert(d.getMonth()+ '/' + d.getDate() + '/' + d.getFullYear());
