class ParseDate

• ParseDate
• Reference
• Object

Overview

This utility tries to brute force match a time/date against a hierarchy of possible formats in order to be able to broadly accept, and parse a wide range of date specifications.

It iterates through a list for formats, attempting to match against each date specification in turn, until either a match is found or the list is exhausted. The current set of formats is:

1. Time::Format::YAML_DATE
2. Time::Format::ISO_8601_DATE_TIME
3. Time::Format::ISO_8601_DATE
4. Time::Format::ISO_8601_TIME
5. Time::Format::RFC_2822
6. Time::Format::RFC_3339
7. Time::Format::HTTP_DATE
8. ParseDate::Format::UsMil

Defined in:

format/usmil.cr
