This hopefully clarifies the documentation for the behaviour of the convert_dates and keep_default_dates parameters on the read_json function.
I recently had to use this function and found the existing docs a bit confusing. I actually created a truth table (below), but this is probably a bit much for the docs.
I hope you agree that my changes make the behaviour clearer - but perhaps people will disagree...
