dateparser 0.2.0

#Date Parser

Docs

A port of the Python Dateutil date parser. This module offers a generic date/time string parser which is able to parse most known formats to represent a date and/or time. This module attempts to be forgiving with regards to unlikely input formats, returning a SysTime object even for dates which are ambiguous.

As this follows SemVer, this is currently beta quality software. Expect the API to break many times until this hits 1.0. This is currently between 3.5x and 5.76x (it depends on the format) faster than the Python version, and it becomes even faster when compiling with LDC. Compiles with D versions 2.067 and up. Tested with the latest versions of dmd and ldc.

##Install With Dub

{
    ...
    "dependencies": {
        "dateparser": "~>0.1.0"
    }
}

Simple Example

View the docs for more.

import std.datetime;
import dateparser;

void main()
{
    assert(parse("2003-09-25") == SysTime(DateTime(2003, 9, 25)));
}

To Do

In order of importance:

• ✓ Pass all tests
• make interface more idiomatic D, which includes
• range-ify interface
• remove as many GC allocations as possible
• get at least 6x faster than the Python version

I will consider this library to be at 1.0.0 when the first three happen.
