How to convert Datastream datetime ?

in Datastream
I’m receiving date/timestamps in the format of
"\/Date(1415750400000+0000)\/" in the response. Can you please
explain how I can convert this to a regular date/time format?

In this date format \/Date(XXXXXX+XXXX)\/ we have two parts:
- “XXXXXX”
part is the number of milliseconds since 1 January 1970 - “+XXXX” part indicates the time
zone, so when you see “+0000”, it means the server time zone is UTC.
We use the default Microsoft .NET JSON serialization engine
which emits JSON date as the number of milliseconds elapsed since 01-01-1970
UTC.A relevant documentation on this can be found from the MSDN site here under section “DateTime Wire Format”.
You can also use XML transport if the JSON format is
inconvenient for you. REST/XML returns dates in the format of
“CCYY-MM-DDT00:00:00” – e.g. 2016-11-21T00:00:00.0 - “XXXXXX”
