Answer 1

the following code is not finished, but it should give you what you need to achieve your goal. If not, let me know :)

function rxFn(str,m1) { 
    var d = new Date(parseInt(m1,10));
    return <whatever format you wish based on the date object>
}

function fixDateFormat(jsonObject) {
    for(var i in jsonObject) {
        switch(typeof jsonObject[i]) {
            case 'object':
                fixDateFormat(jsonObject);
                break;
            case 'string':
                jsonObject[i].replace(/Date\(([0-9]+)\)/,rxFn);
        }
    }
}

The basic idea is to loop over the json object recursivly and fix all the date serializations you find.
