JSON Scraping - Convert military time to standard time via Javascript

Question

I am scraping JSON data from a url. The time is military time and I was wondering if there is a way once I retrieve on the client side to convert it to standard time.

"Military time" (a.k.a. 24-hour time) is easily converted to 12-hour time via a simple modulo 12.

JSFiddle example:

var obj = {
    SaturdayClose: "21:00",
    SaturdayOpen: "10:00",
    SundayClose: "12:00",
    SundayOpen: "18:00",
    WeekdayClose: "21:00",
    WeekdayOpen: "10:00"
}, prop, $output = $('#output'), time, x, meridiem;

for (prop in obj) {
    if (obj.hasOwnProperty(prop)) {
        x =+obj[prop].substr(0, 2);

        if (x > 12) {
            x = x % 12;
            meridiem = "pm";
        } else {
            meridiem = "am";
        }

        time = x + ":00" + meridiem;

        $output.append("
" + prop + " " + time + "
");
    }
}
