Format date with javaScript

Question

Hello i am geting JSON response from web service, with date in this format

20140424T00:00:00

Is it posible to format this date something like this

24.04.2014 in euro format with javaScript

I try to use functions new Date() and toLocaleString() but not success with this format? Any suggestion is welcomed!

i will try to avoid including more libraries into my project — Vladimir Stus

I think you can use a simple format function

function formatDate(date){
    return date.replace(/(\d{4})(\d{2})(\d{2}).*/, '$3.$2.$1')
}
