SwiftDate is a date manipulation library for the Swift programming language. It provides a toolkit for parsing, validating, and formatting dates, times, and timezones.
The library includes a relative time generator for producing date offsets based on reference points such as tomorrow or next week, and a localized date formatter for transforming date objects into human-readable strings across multiple languages and locales. It also features an ISO8601 date parser to convert standardized date strings from SQL, HTTP, and ISO8601 formats into structured objects, alongside tools for managing timezones across different geographical regions.
Broad capabilities cover date arithmetic and value adjustment, chronological comparison, and regional date conversion. The project also provides utilities for date component extraction, random date generation for testing, and the management of time periods and intervals.
The library supports the serialization and deserialization of date and region information for data storage and network transmission.
