Cosmos DB items with datetime as string that has time zone offset loses time zone #7114
Description
Due to this well-known bug in Json.NET: JamesNK/Newtonsoft.Json#525
To get around this bad default, the C# users can override the settings here: Azure/azure-webjobs-sdk-extensions#575
Unfortunately, this is not a viable option for non-.NET languages. We need to introduce some sort of way for time zones to be preserved and set:
JsonConvert.DefaultSettings = () => new JsonSerializerSettings
{
DateParseHandling = DateParseHandling.None
};
