There is an excellent JavaScript library called Moment js where you can do such things: http://momentjs.com/

moment("20111031", "YYYYMMDD").fromNow();

returns things like x seconds or days ago. It can parse the string you get from your server and it also provides translations for additional languages.

Regarding your example string:

var readable_date = moment('2015-01-16T05:55:32.000Z').fromNow();

This returns a readable answer as you can see in this fiddle

 var date = '2015-01-16T05:55:32.000Z'; var readable_date = moment(date).fromNow(); document.getElementById("date").innerText = readable_date; 

 <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.9.0/moment.js"></script> <span id="date"></span>
