Description
Code Sample, a copy-pastable example if possible
import pandas as pd
pd.read_json('[true, true, false]', typ="series")results in the following Pandas Series object in older Pandas versions:
0 1970-01-01 00:00:01
1 1970-01-01 00:00:01
2 1970-01-01 00:00:00
dtype: datetime64[ns]
Since 1.0.0 it raises TypeError: <class 'bool'> is not convertible to datetime
Problem description
The expected output would be a Pandas Series of bools. Note that
- with typ="frame" it works and the result is a dataframe with one column with bool values
- with convert_dates set to False correctly outputs a Series of boolean values
This is a problem because
- users would expect a Series of bools (and neither an exception nor a series of timestamps)
- it is inconsistent with the "frame" case
Expected Output
Output of pd.show_versions()
