I have a struct containing some DateTime fields. When I put it to Redis, it gets serialized as json (using Jason lib). So when it gets deserialized the datetime fields come back as strings.
How to restore the data to its original data type? Is there a Plug or Protocol to implement to tell Jason to decode those fields as DateTime?

Jason doesn’t support extra decoding functionality the same way that it supports custom encoding via its Elixir Protocol. You’re better off just using JSON decoding first and then parse the date strings.
…or you can store your Elixir data structures in Redis verbatim with
:erlang.term_to_binaryfunction for encoding and then:erlang.binary_to_termfor decoding.LostKobrakai
If you have ecto around you can use
Ecto.TypeorRepo.loadto transform data back to their higher level types.
