What is "time": 1584287582.774751 in this json file?

Answer 1

The time field uses the UNIX timestamp format, which represents the number of seconds that have passed since January 1, 1970. (UTC). You can search for online tools, such as https://www.unixtimestamp.com/, to help you decode.

1584287582.774751 means Sun Mar 15 2020 15:53:02 GMT+0000

Based on the JSON you posted, I guess the time field here refers to the time when the LdrLoadDll API was called.
