Date format used for json

Question

I found a date format looks like 'creationDate:1509966414000' for an application for saving the creation date of an object in HTTP response. I am unable to parse this date format to real date, So guys could anyone help me to find out the architecture for creating this type of date format?

Answer 1

Just use Date(long date).

public class MilliSecondToDate {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        long milliSecond = 1509966414000L;
        Date date = new Date(milliSecond);
        System.out.println(date);
    }
}
