@DeepakKaithwas This kind of date format might be a bit difficult to parse. Why would server send such date format? Can you change it to ISO string for example?freakish– freakish2012-12-06 09:54:11 +00:00Commented Dec 6, 2012 at 9:54

Edit: Unfortunately i was totally wrong, sry for that,my bad, it happened to always result in today, but to not screw you up, heres an solution which should work for you anyway If you get Different Time strings from your Server, maybe the best way is to write a Regex pattern that matches your String patterns
- Access your
datepropertie from your JSON Object - Since instantiating a Date object with this "Thu Dec 06 14:56:01 IST 2012" String would result in an Invalid Date
- Remove the "IST"
myJson.date.replace(" IST","") - Instantiate the your Date object with your new String
myDate = new Date("Thu Dec 06 14:56:01 2012") - Now theres really your Date Object
var myJson = {"date":"Thu Dec 06 14:56:01 IST 2012"}
var myDate = new Date(myJson.date.replace(" IST",""))
console.log(myDate.toLocaleDateString())
Heres the JSBin

Oh, it does actually work under Chrome ( missed the inner
Date call ). Very interesting.The right way to convert your JSON to the data object it's parsing this date as a string.
var myJson = {"date":"Thu Dec 06 14:56:01 IST 2013"}
var myDate = new Date(Date(myJson.date))
console.log(myDate.getFullYear()) // 2012
Doesn't work with a Year different from the current one.
