dateparser2 ~master

Date Parser 2 (dateparser2) made @safe

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.

Simple Example

import std.datetime;
import dateparser2;

void main()
{
    assert(parse("2003-09-25") == SysTime(DateTime(2003, 9, 25)));
    assert(parse("09/25/2003") == SysTime(DateTime(2003, 9, 25)));
    assert(parse("Sep 2003")   == SysTime(DateTime(2003, 9, 1)));
}

Difference to Date Parser

The difference to the original dateparser is that this version does not use allocator but plain old new resulting in being able to be called from @safe code.
