Robust and type-safe date and time calculations for Swift
About Time
From the project's README at github.com/davedelong/Chronology. Lightly cleaned for readability; for the full source see the upstream repo.
Time is a Swift package that makes it easy to perform robust and type-safe date and time calculations.
Working with calendars can be extremely complicated and error-prone. Time solves these problems by clarifying concepts and restricting improper usage through type-safe APIs. Installing
Time can be installed like any other Swift package. Add this to the section of your Package.swift: Platform Support
Time requires Swift 5.7 or later, as well as macOS 13/iOS 16 (or equivalent) or later. Core parts of the library are built on Swift's type, which was introduced in macOS 13/iOS 16. Documentation
