How to deserialize a unix timestamp (μs) to a DateTime from JSON?

I cleaned up Cris's solution a tad and implemented WriteJson:

class Bookmark
{
    public string title;
    public long id;
    [JsonConverter(typeof(MicrosecondEpochConverter))]
    public DateTime dateAdded;
    [JsonConverter(typeof(MicrosecondEpochConverter))]
    public DateTime lastModified;
    public string type;
    public string root;
    public long parent;
    public List<Bookmark> children;
    public string uri;

    public override string ToString()
    {
        return string.Format("{0} - {1}", title, uri);
    }
}

public class MicrosecondEpochConverter : DateTimeConverterBase
{
    private static readonly DateTime _epoch = new DateTime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc);

    public override void WriteJson(JsonWriter writer, object value, JsonSerializer serializer)
    {
        writer.WriteRawValue(((DateTime)value - _epoch).TotalMilliseconds + "000");
    }

    public override object ReadJson(JsonReader reader, Type objectType, object existingValue, JsonSerializer serializer)
    {
        if (reader.Value == null) { return null; }
        return _epoch.AddMilliseconds((long)reader.Value / 1000d);
    }
}

internal class Program
{

    private static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var jsonString = File.ReadAllText(@"T:/bookmarks-2013-11-13.json");
        var rootMark = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Bookmark>(jsonString);
        var ret = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(rootMark);
    }
}

You can create a custom DateTime converter

  var bookmarks = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Bookmark>(json,
                                                      new MyDateTimeConverter());

---

public class MyDateTimeConverter : Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConverter
{
    public override bool CanConvert(Type objectType)
    {
        return objectType == typeof(DateTime);
    }

    public override object ReadJson(JsonReader reader, Type objectType, object existingValue, JsonSerializer serializer)
    {
        var t = long.Parse((string)reader.Value);
        return new DateTime(1970, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, DateTimeKind.Utc).AddMilliseconds(t);
    }

    public override void WriteJson(JsonWriter writer, object value, JsonSerializer serializer)
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }
}

another approach is to double annotate the class member,

[JsonProperty(PropertyName="dateAdded")] 
[JsonConverter(typeof(JavaScriptDateTimeConverter))]
public DateTime dateAdded;

There's a built-in way to convert from unix timestamp to DateTime without having to write your own class:

[JsonConverter(typeof(UnixDateTimeConverter))]
public DateTime lastModified;

https://www.newtonsoft.com/json/help/html/T_Newtonsoft_Json_Converters_UnixDateTimeConverter.htm

The annotation in Cris' answer is not correct, as JavaScriptDateTimeConverter is for Date(52231943) format rather than the Unix timestamp from the OP.

I realize this question is a few years old now so it's highly likely this class has been added since this question has been asked, but this may help anyone who comes across the same issue.
