title: ASP.NET MVC Controller.Json DateTime Serialization vs NewtonSoft Json DateTime Serialization
body: <p>When I return object that contains DateTime property using</p>
  
  <pre><code>return Json(value);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>on client I receive </p>
  
  <pre><code>"/Date(1336618438854)/"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If i return the same value using </p>
  
  <pre><code>return Json(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(value));
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>then the returned serialized value (together with serialized object) is time zone aware:</p>
  
  <pre><code>"/Date(1336618438854-0400)/"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there any way to get consistent DateTime result without without double serialization? I read somewhere that MS will include Newtonsoft JSON into MVC?</p>
