More alternatives to Moment.js

Moment.js, once a popular JavaScript library for handling dates and times, is now in maintenance mode, prompting developers to seek alternatives that better align with modern requirements. While Moment.js offered extensive capabilities such as time addition, date comparisons, and locale-specific displays, many projects only require a subset of these features, which can be effectively managed using native JavaScript objects like Date and Intl, possibly supplemented with lightweight libraries. Alternatives such as js-joda, Sugar, and Spacetime offer diverse functionalities: js-joda provides a Java-like API for immutable date-time objects, Sugar excels in date formatting and general utility functions, and Spacetime is ideal for handling multiple time zones and daylight saving time. Additionally, the Intl.RelativeTimeFormat object, now widely supported by browsers, offers a native solution for displaying dates in a relative format. Developers are encouraged to consider their specific needs and the benefits of combining native features with minimal external libraries to maintain efficient and performant applications.
