Day.js is a minimalist JavaScript library for parsing, validating, manipulating, and formatting dates. It is lightweight and fast, offering a simple and intuitive API for working with dates and times. Day.js is heavily inspired by Moment.js but aims to be a more modern and lightweight alternative.

Compared to Moment.js, Day.js provides a smaller bundle size, better performance, and improved tree-shaking capabilities. It is actively maintained and offers a familiar API for those transitioning from Moment.js. Day.js is a popular choice for projects that require date manipulation without the overhead of larger date libraries.
