Introduction

C and PHP developers have had access to a built in strftime function for a long time. This function is an easy way to format dates and times for various display needs.

This library brings the flexibility of strftime to the javascript Date object

Use this library if you frequently need to format dates in javascript in a variety of ways. For example, if you have PHP code that writes out formatted dates, and want to mimic the functionality using progressively enhanced javascript, then this library can do exactly what you want.
