Chronos
A standalone immutable DateTime library for PHP with date, time, and calendar date objects.
What is Chronos?
Chronos is a standalone PHP library for handling dates and times, focusing on immutable objects to prevent accidental modifications. It provides datetime, date-only, and time-only objects with a clean API, originally based on Carbon but now independent. It solves the problem of unpredictable datetime mutations in applications by enforcing immutability.
PHP developers building applications that require reliable and predictable datetime handling, such as scheduling systems, calendar features, or financial applications. It's also suitable for developers who need PSR-20 compliance or enhanced testing capabilities.
Developers choose Chronos for its strict immutability, which eliminates side-effects and accidental datetime changes, ensuring data integrity. It offers additional utilities like calendar dates and time-only objects, along with testing support, making it more comprehensive than basic PHP datetime functions.
