Carbon is a lightweight, semantic, and developer-friendly time and date library for Go with zero third-party dependencies and 100% unit test coverage. It supports timezone handling, multiple calendar systems (lunar, Persian/Jalaali, Julian, Hebrew), and i18n, with integrations for GORM and XORM.

Use cases

  • parse and format dates in go
  • convert between timezones in golang
  • work with lunar or persian calendar dates
  • humanize relative times like '3 minutes ago'
  • compare and diff dates in go
  • integrate datetime handling with gorm models

When to choose

  • you need a rich, chainable datetime API beyond Go's standard time package
  • you need multi-calendar or multilingual date support
  • you want a dependency-free, well-tested time library

When to avoid

  • you only need basic time operations already covered by the standard library
  • your project is not written in Go
