Converting a JToken (or string) to a given Type

Question

TL;DR Version

I have a object of type JToken (but can also be a string) and I need to convert it into a Type contained in

Answer 1

There is a ToObject method now.

var obj = jsonObject["date_joined"];
var result = obj.ToObject();

It also works with any complex type, and obey to JsonPropertyAttribute rules

var result = obj.ToObject();

public class MyClass 
{ 
    [JsonProperty("date_field")]
    public DateTime MyDate {get;set;}
}
