I'm encountering an issue where I am sending a complex object from my ASP.NET backend to the AngularJS frontend. This object includes a DateTime property and a list of objects, each with their own DateTime property. These properties are all sent as strings to the frontend, requiring manual conversion to Date objects. The challenging aspect is that various different objects are sent in this manner, making it difficult to determine which properties contain DateTime values, leading to a tedious process of reviewing the entire data structure for DateTime-like properties.
This exhaustive graph exploration consumes significant processing time, which could be better utilized for handling DateTimes and managing the substantial amount of data being transmitted. The current approach takes around 10 seconds due to the sheer volume of data being processed. Therefore, I am seeking guidance on whether there is a more automated method to send DateTime structs to the frontend as actual structs rather than strings, or if there is a way to streamline the processing of these DateTime values automatically.
Thank you in advance for any helpful advice.
