I assume you are using Newtonsoft.Json and that you want the format to be global (apply the format to every date)

Put this in the Application_Start method:

HttpConfiguration config = GlobalConfiguration.Configuration;
config.Formatters.JsonFormatter.SerializerSettings.Converters.Add(
     new IsoDateTimeConverter() { DateTimeFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm" });

  • does not work, maybe because the type edm.datetime does not match with IsoDateTime. I tried also using jsonConverter as attribute ... nothing – CDominik May 15 '17 at 14:07
  • Then please add some details about your data types to your question. I assumed you are using System.DateTime. – Dávid Molnár May 15 '17 at 18:38
