gostradamus
A lightweight Go library for human-friendly datetime creation, transformation, formatting, and parsing.
What is gostradamus?
Gostradamus is a Go library that provides a more intuitive and human-friendly way to work with dates and times. It wraps Go's standard `time` package, offering easier parsing, formatting, shifting, and timezone manipulation while maintaining full compatibility with `time.Time`. It solves the problem of verbose and complex datetime handling in Go.
Go developers who frequently work with datetime parsing, formatting, or manipulation and want a cleaner, more expressive API than the standard library provides.
Developers choose Gostradamus for its human-readable format tokens, seamless conversion with `time.Time`, and comprehensive helper methods for shifting, spanning, and timezone handling—all while being lightweight and production-ready.
