Handling MongoDB's ISODate() when attempting to parse a serialized JSON string

Question

I\'m using MongoDB via the official C# driver with an ASP.NET MVC web site.

I have the following C# model:

public class Contact
{
    public ObjectId Id

If the JSON data is safe for eval (since its coming from your server it probably is) then you can do like so. It's not particularly pretty, but it gets the job done.

var str = '{"_id"  : ObjectId("52eaad4839b60812fca4bf28"),"Name": "Joe Blow","DateAdded" : ISODate("2014-01-30T19:51:35.977Z")}';

function ObjectId(id) { return id;}
function ISODate(d) {return d;}

var obj = eval('(' + str + ')');
console.log(obj);
