  • take a look at this post, using moment.js http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22184747/parse-string-to-date-with-moment-js – Aleksandar Gajic Mar 18 '16 at 13:13
  • why you would care about perfomrance? do you want to parse more than 1 date? all solutions so far take less than 1ms: https://jsfiddle.net/q6vb1m64/1/ – Roland Starke Mar 18 '16 at 13:34

Try this parser:

var dateString = '13.04.2015';
var myDate = new Date(dateString.split('.').reverse());

Check the demo.

Try this code: 

var str = '13.04.2015',
    dateParts = str.split('.'),
    year = dateParts[2],
    month = dateParts[1],
    day = dateParts[0],
    yourDate = new Date([year, month, day]);

JSFiddle example

Also if need to work a lot with dates, I would recomend you MomentJs Library

Code with it will look like: 

moment('13.04.2015', 'DD.MM.YYYY')
