Use this in your javascript (while jsonDate = "\/Date(1369332000000)\/"):

var date = new Date(parseInt(jsonDate.substr(6)));
var formattedDate = date.format("dd-MM-yyyy");

I have a Action Method like this
```
public ActionResult TodayJson()
        {
            DateTime today = DateTime.Today;
            return Json(today,JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
        }
```
that returns me the the following value
```
"\/Date(1369332000000)\/"
```
How can I parse it in actual date time by the jquery or java script. Format should be like this dd-mm-yyyy

Note that solution wouldn't be time zone safe.

@MikeChristensen - stackoverflow.com/a/2316066/1203115 - look at the second comment (+35), it will work if timezone offset is specified.

now it gives "24-00-2013". it's not the actual value

Yes, however your date format is "dd-mm-yyyy".

@AtishDipongkor - You probably want dd-MM-yyyy, lower case mm is minute, not month.

Sorry had a mistake in the date.format string.
