dateparse
A Go library that parses date strings without requiring prior knowledge of their format.
What is dateparse?
Dateparse is a Go library that intelligently parses date and time strings without requiring the format to be specified beforehand. It solves the problem of handling diverse date formats in data processing, log parsing, or user input by automatically detecting the format using a state machine. This eliminates the need for multiple parsing attempts or complex format-matching logic.
Go developers working with heterogeneous date sources, such as log files, CSV data, APIs, or user-generated content where date formats are inconsistent or unknown.
Developers choose Dateparse for its performance and convenience—it's faster than trial-and-error parsing and reduces boilerplate code. Its strict mode and layout detection provide flexibility and control, making it a robust alternative to Go's standard time.Parse.
