(Node.js) Parse a Microsoft JSON Date (MS AJAX Date)

Demonstrates how to parse a Microsoft JSON Date, also known as an MSAJAX date.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.76 or greater.

Install Chilkat for Node.js and Electron using npm at Chilkat npm packages for Node.js Chilkat npm packages for Electron on Windows, Linux, MacOSX, and ARM

    // Sample output:
