TZinfo
A Ruby library providing access to IANA time zone data for accurate time zone conversions and local time handling.
What is TZinfo?
TZInfo is a Ruby library that provides access to time zone data from the IANA Time Zone Database. It allows developers to convert times between different time zones, handle daylight saving time transitions, and work with local times accurately. The library solves the complex problem of time zone calculations by providing a reliable, standards-based implementation.
Ruby developers building applications that need to handle dates and times across multiple time zones, especially those working on international applications, scheduling systems, or any software requiring accurate time zone conversions.
Developers choose TZInfo because it provides a robust, thread-safe implementation of IANA time zone data with a clean Ruby API. It handles edge cases like ambiguous times during daylight saving transitions and offers multiple data source options for flexibility in deployment.
