JsonSerializerSettingsTransformationMethod

For example, you can implement the following class and set the method to MyNamespace.SerializerSettings.TransformSettings:

namespace MyNamespace
{
    internal static class SerializerSettings
    {
        public static JsonSerializerSettings TransformSettings(
            JsonSerializerSettings settings)
        {
            settings.DateParseHandling = DateParseHandling.DateTimeOffset;
            return settings;
        }
    }
}
