CakePHP Chronos is a standalone PHP DateTime library providing immutable datetime, date-only, and time-only objects, originally based on Carbon. It offers a zero-dependency DateTimeImmutable extension with helper methods for date arithmetic, formatting, and calendar date handling.
Use cases
- work with immutable datetime objects in PHP
- handle calendar dates without time or timezone issues
- perform date arithmetic without side effects
- represent clock times independent of dates
- replace Carbon with a lighter datetime library
- prevent accidental datetime mutation in application code
When to choose
- you need immutable date/time objects in PHP
- you want a zero-dependency alternative to Carbon
- you need date-only or time-only value objects
- you're building CakePHP applications
When to avoid
- you need mutable DateTime behavior
- you rely on Carbon-specific APIs or extensions
- you need full i18n translations built in
