Im using this code to retrieve an entity with a datetime field. When i retrieve the field i get it in this format "Date(16456222000000)" as string, how can i transform that to a date that i can compare?


function retrieveRecord(recordId) {
    var clientURL = Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl();
    var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
    var query = "/api/data/v8.2/entitySetName?$filter= idlogicalname eq " + recordId;
    req.open("GET", encodeURI(clientURL + query), true);
    req.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json");
    req.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json;charset=utf-8");
    req.setRequestHeader("OData-MaxVersion", "4.0");
    req.setRequestHeader("OData-Version", "4.0");
    req.onreadystatechange = function () {
        if (this.readyState == 4) {
            req.onreadystatechange = null;
            if (this.status == 200) {
                var data = JSON.parse(this.response);                
            }
            else {
                var error = JSON.parse(this.response).error;
                alert("Error retrieving Record – " + error.message);
            }
        }
    };
    req.send();
}

Hello, if the format of the string when you retrieve it is always the same "Date(xxxxx)", what I recomend is to get the number from the string and create a new Date type var and you pass to it the number that you get from the string, for example:

var str = "Date(16456222000000)";

var num = str.replace(/\D+/g, ""); // console.log(num) if you want to check the value

var date = Date(num);

console.log(date);

Thanks!
