 - During the creation or updating of Cloud Firestore documents, you may want to automatically set certain fields (e.g., `updatedAt`) to `FieldValue.serverTimestamp()`.
 - For other fields (e.g., `createdAt`), you might sometimes prefer to specify a client-side DateTime and save it to a Cloud Firestore document, while at other times you might want to automatically set it to `FieldValue.serverTimestamp()`.
 
+For such scenarios, you can define `DateTime`/`Timestamp` fields as `SealedTimestamp` type with `@sealedTimestampConverter`/`@alwaysUseServerTimestampSealedTimestampConverter` json_converter annotations like below:
+
+```dart
+@JsonSerializable()
+class Entity {
+  Entity({
+    required this.name,
+    this.createdAt = const ServerTimestamp(),
+    this.updatedAt = const ServerTimestamp(),
+  });
+
+  factory Entity.fromJson(Map<String, dynamic> json) => _$EntityFromJson(json);
+
+  final String name;
+
+  // Handle both Dart's `DateTime` and Cloud Firestore's `Timestamp` types.
+  @sealedTimestampConverter
+  final SealedTimestamp createdAt;
+
+  // Handle both Dart's `DateTime` and Cloud Firestore's `Timestamp` types, and
+  // always use `FieldValue.serverTimestamp()` when creating/updating a document.
+  @alwaysUseServerTimestampSealedTimestampConverter
+  final SealedTimestamp updatedAt;
+
+  Map<String, dynamic> toJson() => _$EntityToJson(this);
+}
+```
+
+When you want to get `DateTime` value of their fields on Dart client-side, you can call `SealedTimestamp.dateTime`.
+
+```dart
+final epoch = DateTime(1970);
+final entity = Entity(name: 'foo', createdAt: ClientDateTime(epoch));
+
+print(entity.name); // 'foo'
+print(entity.createdAt.dateTime) // 1970-01-01 00:00:00.000
+print(entity.updatedAt.dateTime) // null
+
+final json = entity.toJson();
+
+print(json['name']); // 'foo'
+print(json['createdAt']); // Timestamp(seconds=0, nanoseconds=0)
+print(json['updatedAt']); // FieldValue(Instance of 'MethodChannelFieldValue')
+```
