Jiff is a datetime library for Rust that encourages you to jump into the pit of success. The focus of this library is providing high level datetime primitives that are difficult to misuse and have reasonable performance.

And as a user of Jiff, I must say that it is very nice to use. Well thought out API, making date time handling less of a pain. So, nice work @[email protected]

Jiff is a datetime library for Rust that encourages you to jump into the pit of success. The focus of this library is providing high level datetime primitives that are difficult to misuse and have reasonable performance. Jiff supports automatic and seamless integration with the Time Zone Database, DST aware arithmetic and rounding, formatting and parsing zone aware datetimes losslessly, opt-in Serde support and a whole lot more.

Jiff takes enormous inspiration from Temporal, which is a TC39 proposal to improve datetime handling in JavaScript.

While I think there is always something that can be improved, I don't like that we are getting a third major date time library alongside time and chrono.
