This is actually three separate C++11/C++14 libraries:
-
"date.h"is a header-only library which builds upon<chrono>. It adds some newdurationtypes, and newtime_pointtypes. It also adds "field" types such asyear_month_daywhich is a struct{year, month, day}. And it provides convenient means to convert between the "field" types and thetime_pointtypes. See http://howardhinnant.github.io/date_v2.html for more details.Here is the Cppcon 2015 presentation on date.h: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzyGjOm8AKo

-
"tz.h"/"tz.cpp"are a timezone library built on top of the"date.h"library. This timezone library is a complete parser of the IANA timezone database. It provides for an easy way to access all of the data in this database, using the types from"date.h"and<chrono>. The IANA database also includes data on leap seconds, and this library provides utilities to compute with that information as well. See http://howardhinnant.github.io/tz.html for more details. -
"iso_week.h"is a header-only library built on top of the"date.h"library which implements the ISO week date calendar. See http://howardhinnant.github.io/iso_week.html for more details.
