Chrono is a date and time library for Rust providing timezone-aware DateTime types, timezone-naive variants, and strftime-style parsing and formatting. It focuses on correct operations in the proleptic Gregorian calendar with configurable feature flags for minimal binary size.

Use cases

  • parse and format dates in rust
  • handle timezones correctly in rust
  • get current system time and local timezone
  • convert between utc and local time
  • parse timestamps from strings
  • do date arithmetic like adding days or months

When to choose

  • you need correct, timezone-aware date and time handling in Rust
  • you want mature, widely used date/time crate with huge ecosystem adoption
  • you need configurable features to keep binaries small

When to avoid

  • you need non-Gregorian calendars
  • you need full leap second support
  • you need bundled timezone data without a companion crate
