Yaseer -

You can use:

JavaScript

var completedDateText = "/Date(1352656800000)/";
var completedDate = new Date(parseInt(completedDateText.replace("/Date(", "").replace(")/")));
alert(completedDate.toDateString());

Or, if you want to format your date

JavaScript

var completedDateText = "/Date(1352656800000)/";
    var completedDate = new Date(parseInt(completedDateText.replace("/Date(", "").replace(")/")));
    // from http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?67608-Date()-format-as-mm-dd-yyyy
    var dd = completedDate.getDate();
    var mm = completedDate.getMonth() + 1; //January is 0! 
    var yyyy = completedDate.getFullYear(); 
    if(dd<10){dd='0'+dd} 
    if(mm<10){mm='0'+mm}
    alert('Completed date is ' + mm + '/' + dd + '/' + yyyy);

As I see, it is a JavaScript timestamp.
Ok: 1352656800000 means Sun, 11 Nov 2012 18:00:00 GMT
So, first of all decode the JSON string to an object. Than parse it and for every matching field (since you have not given the whole structure, you have to find them), use the following function (supposing, that the field value format is /Date(1352656800000)/):

HTML

<script>
function ParseDate(input){ 
	theDate = new Date(parseInt(input.substring(6,19)));
	return theDate.toGMTString();
}

alert(ParseDate("/Date(1352656800000)/"));
</script>

If you need formatting, or you have to use the timestamp as javascript date object, just change the returned expression.

JavaScript

function parseJsonDate(jsonDate) {
               var offset = new Date().getTimezoneOffset() * 60000;
               var parts = /\/Date\((-?\d+)([+-]\d{2})?(\d{2})?.*/.exec(jsonDate);

               if (parts[2] == undefined)
                   parts[2] = 0;

               if (parts[3] == undefined)
                   parts[3] = 0;
               return new Date(+(parts[1]) + (parts[2]) * 3600000 + (parts[3]) * 60000);
           }
