title: Extract DateTime from JSON string
body: <p>I have a string:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var myJson ="[\r\n  \"2018-08-14\",\r\n  \"2018-08-30\",\r\n  \"2018-11-30\"\r\n]"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Which I'm trying to extract the dates from, I thought that I could use</p>
  
  <pre><code>JsonConvert.DeserializeObject&lt;DateTime&gt;(myJson)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but this throws an Unexpected character error.</p>
  
  <p>I could of course simply use find and replace, but I'd like to understand the cause of this error.</p>
