DateJS.com - One Smooth JS Date Library

DateJS is a JavaScript date script. It’s open source and it’s pretty slick. To begin, you’ll first need to download the latest version or connect directly to the SVN source repository. It supports over 150 differnet cultures, all of which have been precompiled and include translations for many of the strings used in the DateJS library. The natural language syntax—combinations of // Get today’s date Date.today();, are a breeze to pick up. You end up with a powerful yet sensible and easy replacement for the native Javascript date parser. For training check out the on site tutorials or head on over to DateJS at Google Code.

“Datejs is an open-source JavaScript Date Library.
Comprehensive, yet simple, stealthy and fast. Datejs has passed all trials and is ready to strike. Datejs doesn’t just parse strings, it slices them cleanly in two.”

For one, DateJS features one cool little ninja icon on the site’s homepage, but besides that DateJS is one slick and effective site. It’s not just another JS date library. It’s unique. It was designed to handle parsing, formatting and date processing and it supports a load of different language formats. API is simple to use. Word is that this is not to be missed.

Is this really that new? Must users enter date strict date formats? If your date is more complex, will DateJS be able to work with it?
