c# - Reading value removes characters in JSonNet -

i'm trying read date time string jvalue gets changed read..

{   "updated": "2012-12-12t00:00:00z", }  json["updated"].value<string>() = 12/12/2012 00:00:00 

the above json string found when inspect json object. ideas why it's doing this?

it's resolving datetime internally , doing datetime.tostring.

try

json["updated"].value<datetime>().tostring("your format")
