Js-joda – Immutable date and time library for JavaScript

This is inspired by both Threeten [1] and Joda-Time [2], which are well-engineered Java libraries for date/time concepts.

I have often wished for that API to be available in other environments, so this is definitely a welcome addition to JS.

Note that the authors of the library are confused -- Threeten-(backport) and Joda-Time are different libraries with different behaviors, and one isn't an "aka." for another. However, Joda-Time's author went on to develop Threeten based on lessons learned, and this library purports to be a JS port of Threeten-Backport.

I started using JS-Joda because I've had a good experience with Noda Time [1], which started a a port of Joda-Time to .NET
