Luxon: Open-Source JavaScript Date Library

An open-source JavaScript library for working with dates and times, providing a simple API for parsing, validating, manipulating, and formatting dates and times in the browser.

What is Luxon?

Luxon is an open-source JavaScript library for working with dates and times. It was created by Moment.js contributors as an alternative to the Moment.js library.

Some key features of Luxon include:

• Immutable date/time objects to represent points in time
• Intuitive API for common tasks like parsing, validating, manipulating, querying, and formatting dates/times
• Robust support for time zones, calendars, internationalization, and localization
• Lightweight footprint at just 16kb gzipped
• Modular architecture so you only need to import what you use
• Optimized for performance in the browser
• Tree-shakeable via modules to keep bundle sizes small

Some reasons developers choose Luxon over Moment.js include its simpler and more focused API, immutability, modular architecture, smaller footprint, better browser performance, easier mocking in tests, and more intuitive date math. It also has better support for time zones and internationalization.

Overall, Luxon makes working with dates and times in JavaScript simple and enjoyable through its clean and developer-friendly API. The library continues to be improved and maintained by an active open-source community.
