Convert JSON dates without timezone
The problem is that
new Date()takes the local time on the clients computer in consideration
Nope. Creating a new Date using the timestamp constructor takes a UTC time stamp.
For example on my machine in UTC+1:
new Date(0) // Thu Jan 01 1970 01:00:00 GMT+0100 (CET)OK, the default toString displays this date as 01:00:00 which looks wrong, but that's actually the correct time. 01:00:00 in UTC+1 is 00:00:00 in UTC, which is the moment described by timestamp 0.
If you want to display the dates you've creating from a timestamp in UTC, use date.toUTCString() or fetch and format the consistuent parts of the date using getUTCFullYear(), getUTCMonth() etc.
Please, though, no eval.
new Date(parseInt(jsonDate.slice(6, -1), 10))
