DateHelper
A high-performance Swift Date extension for creating, comparing, and modifying dates across Apple platforms.
What is DateHelper?
DateHelper is a Swift library that extends the Foundation Date type with a comprehensive suite of methods for parsing, formatting, comparing, and manipulating dates and times. It solves the problem of verbose and complex date handling in Swift by providing a clean, high-performance API for common operations like creating dates from strings, formatting dates for display, and calculating time differences.
Swift developers building applications for Apple platforms (iOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS) who need to handle dates and times frequently and want a more intuitive and efficient alternative to Foundation's native date APIs.
Developers choose DateHelper for its performance-optimized, thread-safe design with cached formatters, its extensive feature set covering parsing, formatting, and manipulation, and its clean API that significantly reduces boilerplate code compared to using Calendar and DateFormatter directly.
