    class Main {
        static function main() {
            // Convert Unix timestamp to Date
            var unixTimestamp:Float = 1723530215;
            var date:Date = Date.fromTime(unixTimestamp * 1000);
            
            trace("Converted Date: " + date);
        }
    }

Output:

Converted Date: 2024-08-13 06:23:35

Example only. There may be multiple ways to perform this operation.

Code Explanation

In this example of Unix timestamp to date conversion in Haxe, the Unix timestamp '1723530215' is multiplied by 1000 to convert it from seconds to milliseconds.
The Date.fromTime method is then used to create a Date object from this value. The result will be the date '2024-08-13 06:23:35', which will be printed.
