It aims to be a feature-complete superset of
|
||
|
the [time](https://github.com/rust-lang-deprecated/time) library.
|
||
|
In particular,
|
||
|
|
||
|
* Chrono strictly adheres to ISO 8601.
|
||
|
* Chrono is timezone-aware by default, with separate timezone-naive types.
|
||
|
* Chrono is space-optimal and (while not being the primary goal) reasonably efficient.
|
||
|
|
||
|
There were several previous attempts to bring a good date and time library to Rust,
|
||
|
which Chrono builds upon and should acknowledge:
|
||
|
|
||
|
* [Initial research on
|
||
|
the wiki](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-wiki-backup/blob/master/Lib-datetime.md)
|
||
|
* Dietrich Epp's [datetime-rs](https://github.com/depp/datetime-rs)
|
||
|
* Luis de Bethencourt's [rust-datetime](https://github.com/luisbg/rust-datetime)
|
||
|
|
||
|
Any significant changes to Chrono are documented in
|
||
|
the [`CHANGELOG.md`](https://github.com/chronotope/chrono/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md) file.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
||
|
Put this in your `Cargo.toml`:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```toml
|
||
|
[dependencies]
|
||
|
chrono = "0.4"
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Features
|
||
|
|
||
|
Chrono supports various runtime environments and operating systems, and has
|
||
|
several features that may be enabled or disabled.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Default features:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- `alloc`: Enable features that depend on allocation (primarily string formatting)
|
||
|
- `std`: Enables functionality that depends on the standard library. This
|
||
|
is a superset of `alloc` and adds interoperation with standard library types
|
||
|
and traits.
|
||
|
- `clock`: enables reading the system time (`now`), independent of whether
|
||
|
`std::time::SystemTime` is present, depends on having a libc.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Optional features:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- `wasmbind`: Enable integration with [wasm-bindgen][] and its `js-sys` project
|
||
|
- [`serde`][]: Enable serialization/deserialization via serde.
|
||
|
- `unstable-locales`: Enable localization. This adds various methods with a
|
||
|
`_localized` suffix. The implementation and API may change or even be
|
||
|
removed in a patch release. Feedback welcome.
|
||

||
|
|
||
|
## Overview
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Duration
|
||
|
|
||
|
Chrono currently uses its own [`Duration`] type to represent the magnitude
|
||
|
of a time span. Since this has the same name as the newer, standard type for
|
||
|
duration, the reference will refer this type as `OldDuration`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Note that this is an "accurate" duration represented as seconds and
|
||
|
nanoseconds and does not represent "nominal" components such as days or
|
||
|
months.
|
||
|
|
||
|
When the `oldtime` feature is enabled, [`Duration`] is an alias for the
|
||
|
[`time::Duration`](https://docs.rs/time/0.1.40/time/struct.Duration.html)
|
||
|
type from v0.1 of the time crate. time v0.1 is deprecated, so new code
|
||
|
should disable the `oldtime` feature and use the `chrono::Duration` type
|
||
|
instead. The `oldtime` feature is enabled by default for backwards
|
||
|
compatibility, but future versions of Chrono are likely to remove the
|
||
|
feature entirely.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Chrono does not yet natively support
|
||
|
the standard [`Duration`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/time/struct.Duration.html) type,
|
||
|
but it will be supported in the future.
|
||
|
Meanwhile you can convert between two types with
|
||
|
[`Duration::from_std`](https://docs.rs/time/0.1.40/time/struct.Duration.html#method.from_std)
|
||
|
and
|
||
|
[`Duration::to_std`](https://docs.rs/time/0.1.40/time/struct.Duration.html#method.to_std)
|
||
|
methods.
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Date and Time
|
||
|
|
||
|
Chrono provides a
|
||
|
[**`DateTime`**](https://docs.rs/chrono/0.4/chrono/struct.DateTime.html)
|
||
|
type to represent a date and a time in a timezone.
|
||
|
|
||
|
For more abstract moment-in-time tracking such as internal timekeeping
|
||
|
that is unconcerned with timezones, consider
|
||
|
[`time::SystemTime`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/time/struct.SystemTime.html),
|
||
|
which tracks your system clock, or
|
||
|
[`time::Instant`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/time/struct.Instant.html), which
|
||
|
is an opaque but monotonically-increasing representation of a moment in time.
|
||
|
|
||
|
`DateTime` is timezone-aware and must be constructed from
|
||
|
the [**`TimeZone`**](https://docs.rs/chrono/0.4/chrono/offset/trait.TimeZone.html) object,
|
||
|
which defines how the local date is converted to and back from the UTC date.
|
||
|
There are three well-known `TimeZone` implementations:
|
||
|
|
||
|
* [**`Utc`**](https://docs.rs/chrono/0.4/chrono/offset/struct.Utc.html) specifies the UTC time zone. It is most efficient.
|
||
|
|
||
|
* [**`Local`**](https://docs.rs/chrono/0.4/chrono/offset/struct.Local.html) specifies the system local time zone.
|
||
|
|
||
|
* [**`FixedOffset`**](https://docs.rs/chrono/0.4/chrono/offset/struct.FixedOffset.html) specifies
|
||
|
an arbitrary, fixed time zone such as UTC+09:00 or UTC-10:30.
|
||
|
This often results from the parsed textual date and time.
|
||
|
Since it stores the most information and does not depend on the system environment,
|
||
|
you would want to normalize other `TimeZone`s into this type.
|
||
|
|
||
|
`DateTime`s with different `TimeZone` types are distinct and do not mix,
|
||
|
but can be converted to each other using
|
||
|
the [`DateTime::with_timezone`](https://docs.rs/chrono/0.4/chrono/struct.DateTime.html#method.with_timezone) method.
|
||
|
|
||
|
You can get the current date and time in the UTC time zone
|
||
|
([`Utc::now()`](https://docs.rs/chrono/0.4/chrono/offset/struct.Utc.html#method.now))
|
||
|
or in the local time zone
|
||
|
([`Local::now()`](https://docs.rs/chrono/0.4/chrono/offset/struct.Local.html#method.now)).
|
||
|
|
||
|
```rust
|
||
|
use chrono::prelude::*;
|
||
|
|
||
|
let utc: DateTime<Utc> = Utc::now(); // e.g. `2014-11-28T12:45:59.324310806Z`
|
||
|
let local: DateTime<Local> = Local::now(); // e.g. `2014-11-28T21:45:59.324310806+09:00`
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Alternatively, you can create your own date and time.
|
||
|
This is a bit verbose due to Rust's lack of function and method overloading,
|
||
|
but in turn we get a rich combination of initialization methods.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```rust
|
||
|
use chrono::prelude::*;
|
||
|
use chrono::offset::LocalResult;
|
||
|
|
||
|
let dt = Utc.ymd(2014, 7, 8).and_hms(9, 10, 11); // `2014-07-08T09:10:11Z`
|
||
|
// July 8 is 188th day of the year 2014 (`o` for "ordinal")
|
||
|
assert_eq!(dt, Utc.yo(2014, 189).and_hms(9, 10, 11));
|
||
|
// July 8 is Tuesday in ISO week 28 of the year 2014.
|
||
|
assert_eq!(dt, Utc.isoywd(2014, 28, Weekday::Tue).and_hms(9, 10, 11));
|
||
|
|
||
|
let dt = Utc.ymd(2014, 7, 8).and_hms_milli(9, 10, 11, 12); // `2014-07-08T09:10:11.012Z`
|
||
|
assert_eq!(dt, Utc.ymd(2014, 7, 8).and_hms_micro(9, 10, 11, 12_000));
|
||
|
assert_eq!(dt, Utc.ymd(2014, 7, 8).and_hms_nano(9, 10, 11, 12_000_000));
|
||
|
|
||
|
// dynamic verification
|
||
|
assert_eq!(Utc.ymd_opt(2014, 7, 8).and_hms_opt(21, 15, 33),
|
||
|
LocalResult::Single(Utc.ymd(2014, 7, 8).and_hms(21, 15, 33)));
|
||
|
assert_eq!(Utc.ymd_opt(2014, 7, 8).and_hms_opt(80, 15, 33), LocalResult::None);
|
||
|
assert_eq!(Utc.ymd_opt(2014, 7, 38).and_hms_opt(21, 15, 33), LocalResult::None);
|
||
|
|
||
|
// other time zone objects can be used to construct a local datetime.
|
||
|
// obviously, `local_dt` is normally different from `dt`, but `fixed_dt` should be identical.
|
||
|
let local_dt = Local.ymd(2014, 7, 8).and_hms_milli(9, 10, 11, 12);
|
||
|
let fixed_dt = FixedOffset::east(9 * 3600).ymd(2014, 7, 8).and_hms_milli(18, 10, 11, 12);
|
||
|
assert_eq!(dt, fixed_dt);
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Various properties are available to the date and time, and can be altered individually.
|
||
|
Most of them are defined in the traits [`Datelike`](https://docs.rs/chrono/0.4/chrono/trait.Datelike.html) and
|
||
|
[`Timelike`](https://docs.rs/chrono/0.4/chrono/trait.Timelike.html) which you should `use` before.
|
||
|
Addition and subtraction is also supported.
|
||
|
The following illustrates most supported operations to the date and time:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```rust
|
||
|
|
||
|
use chrono::prelude::*;
|
||
|
use chrono::Duration;
|
||
|
|
||
|
// assume this returned `2014-11-28T21:45:59.324310806+09:00`:
|
||
|
let dt = FixedOffset::east(9*3600).ymd(2014, 11, 28).and_hms_nano(21, 45, 59, 324310806);
|
||
|
|
||
|
// property accessors
|
||
|
assert_eq!((dt.year(), dt.month(), dt.day()), (2014, 11, 28));
|
||
|
assert_eq!((dt.month0(), dt.day0()), (10, 27)); // for unfortunate souls
|
||
|
assert_eq!((dt.hour(), dt.minute(), dt.second()), (21, 45, 59));
|
||
|
assert_eq!(dt.weekday(), Weekday::Fri);
|
||
|
assert_eq!(dt.weekday().number_from_monday(), 5); // Mon=1, ..., Sun=7
|
||
|
assert_eq!(dt.ordinal(), 332); // the day of year
|
||
|
assert_eq!(dt.num_days_from_ce(), 735565); // the number of days from and including Jan 1, 1
|
||
|
|
||
|
// time zone accessor and manipulation
|
||
|
assert_eq!(dt.offset().fix().local_minus_utc(), 9 * 3600);
|
||
|
assert_eq!(dt.timezone(), FixedOffset::east(9 * 3600));
|
||
|
assert_eq!(dt.with_timezone(&Utc), Utc.ymd(2014, 11, 28).and_hms_nano(12, 45, 59, 324310806));
|
||
|
|
||
|
// a sample of property manipulations (validates dynamically)
|
||
|
assert_eq!(dt.with_day(29).unwrap().weekday(), Weekday::Sat); // 2014-11-29 is Saturday
|
||
|
assert_eq!(dt.with_day(32), None);
|
||
|
assert_eq!(dt.with_year(-300).unwrap().num_days_from_ce(), -109606); // November 29, 301 BCE
|
||
|
|
||
|
// arithmetic operations
|
||
|
let dt1 = Utc.ymd(2014, 11, 14).and_hms(8, 9, 10);
|
||
|
let dt2 = Utc.ymd(2014, 11, 14).and_hms(10, 9, 8);
|
||
|
assert_eq!(dt1.signed_duration_since(dt2), Duration::seconds(-2 * 3600 + 2));
|
||
|
assert_eq!(dt2.signed_duration_since(dt1), Duration::seconds(2 * 3600 - 2));
|
||
|
assert_eq!(Utc.ymd(1970, 1, 1).and_hms(0, 0, 0) + Duration::seconds(1_000_000_000),
|
||
|
Utc.ymd(2001, 9, 9).and_hms(1, 46, 40));
|
||
|
assert_eq!(Utc.ymd(1970, 1, 1).and_hms(0, 0, 0) - Duration::seconds(1_000_000_000),
|
||
|
Utc.ymd(1938, 4, 24).and_hms(22, 13, 20));
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Formatting and Parsing
|
||
|
|
||
|
Formatting is done via the [`format`](https://docs.rs/chrono/0.4/chrono/struct.DateTime.html#method.format) method,
|
||
|
which format is equivalent to the familiar `strftime` format.
|
||
|
|
||
|
See [`format::strftime`](https://docs.rs/chrono/0.4/chrono/format/strftime/index.html#specifiers)
|
||
|
documentation for full syntax and list of specifiers.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The default `to_string` method and `{:?}` specifier also give a reasonable representation.
|
||
|
Chrono also provides [`to_rfc2822`](https://docs.rs/chrono/0.4/chrono/struct.DateTime.html#method.to_rfc2822) and
|
||
|
[`to_rfc3339`](https://docs.rs/chrono/0.4/chrono/struct.DateTime.html#method.to_rfc3339) methods
|
||
|
for well-known formats.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Chrono now also provides date formatting in almost any language without the
|
||
|
help of an additional C library. This functionality is under the feature
|
||
|
`unstable-locales`:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```text
|
||
|
chrono { version = "0.4", features = ["unstable-locales"]
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
The `unstable-locales` feature requires and implies at least the `alloc` feature.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```rust
|
||
|
use chrono::prelude::*;
|
||
|
|
||
|
let dt = Utc.ymd(2014, 11, 28).and_hms(12, 0, 9);
|
||
|
assert_eq!(dt.format("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S").to_string(), "2014-11-28 12:00:09");
|
||
|
assert_eq!(dt.format("%a %b %e %T %Y").to_string(), "Fri Nov 28 12:00:09 2014");
|
||
|
assert_eq!(dt.format_localized("%A %e %B %Y, %T", Locale::fr_BE).to_string(), "vendredi 28 novembre 2014, 12:00:09");
|
||
|
assert_eq!(dt.format("%a %b %e %T %Y").to_string(), dt.format("%c").to_string());
|
||
|
|
||
|
assert_eq!(dt.to_string(), "2014-11-28 12:00:09 UTC");
|
||
|
assert_eq!(dt.to_rfc2822(), "Fri, 28 Nov 2014 12:00:09 +0000");
|
||
|
assert_eq!(dt.to_rfc3339(), "2014-11-28T12:00:09+00:00");
|
||
|
assert_eq!(format!("{:?}", dt), "2014-11-28T12:00:09Z");
|
||
|
|
||
|
// Note that milli/nanoseconds are only printed if they are non-zero
|
||
|
let dt_nano = Utc.ymd(2014, 11, 28).and_hms_nano(12, 0, 9, 1);
|
||
|
assert_eq!(format!("{:?}", dt_nano), "2014-11-28T12:00:09.000000001Z");
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Parsing can be done with three methods:
|
||
|
|
||
|
1. The standard [`FromStr`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/str/trait.FromStr.html) trait
|
||
|
(and [`parse`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/primitive.str.html#method.parse) method
|
||
|
on a string) can be used for parsing `DateTime<FixedOffset>`, `DateTime<Utc>` and
|
||
|
`DateTime<Local>` values. This parses what the `{:?}`
|
||
|
([`std::fmt::Debug`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/fmt/trait.Debug.html))
|
||
|
format specifier prints, and requires the offset to be present.
|
||
|
|
||
|
2. [`DateTime::parse_from_str`](https://docs.rs/chrono/0.4/chrono/struct.DateTime.html#method.parse_from_str) parses
|
||
|
a date and time with offsets and returns `DateTime<FixedOffset>`.
|
||
|
This should be used when the offset is a part of input and the caller cannot guess that.
|
||
|
It *cannot* be used when the offset can be missing.
|
||
|
[`DateTime::parse_from_rfc2822`](https://docs.rs/chrono/0.4/chrono/struct.DateTime.html#method.parse_from_rfc2822)
|
||
|
and
|
||
|
[`DateTime::parse_from_rfc3339`](https://docs.rs/chrono/0.4/chrono/struct.DateTime.html#method.parse_from_rfc3339)
|
||
|
are similar but for well-known formats.
|
||
|
|
||
|
3. [`Offset::datetime_from_str`](https://docs.rs/chrono/0.4/chrono/offset/trait.TimeZone.html#method.datetime_from_str) is
|
||
|
similar but returns `DateTime` of given offset.
|
||
|
When the explicit offset is missing from the input, it simply uses given offset.
|
||
|
It issues an error when the input contains an explicit offset different
|
||
|
from the current offset.
|
||
|
|
||
|
More detailed control over the parsing process is available via
|
||
|
[`format`](https://docs.rs/chrono/0.4/chrono/format/index.html) module.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```rust
|
||
|
use chrono::prelude::*;
|
||
|
|
||
|
let dt = Utc.ymd(2014, 11, 28).and_hms(12, 0, 9);
|
||
|
let fixed_dt = dt.with_timezone(&FixedOffset::east(9*3600));
|
||
|
|
||
|
// method 1
|
||
|
assert_eq!("2014-11-28T12:00:09Z".parse::<DateTime<Utc>>(), Ok(dt.clone()));
|
||
|
assert_eq!("2014-11-28T21:00:09+09:00".parse::<DateTime<Utc>>(), Ok(dt.clone()));
|
||
|
assert_eq!("2014-11-28T21:00:09+09:00".parse::<DateTime<FixedOffset>>(), Ok(fixed_dt.clone()));
|
||
|
|
||
|
// method 2
|
||
|
assert_eq!(DateTime::parse_from_str("2014-11-28 21:00:09 +09:00", "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %z"),
|
||
|
Ok(fixed_dt.clone()));
|
||
|
assert_eq!(DateTime::parse_from_rfc2822("Fri, 28 Nov 2014 21:00:09 +0900"),
|
||
|
Ok(fixed_dt.clone()));
|

### Conversion from and to EPOCH timestamps
|
||
|
|
||
|
Use [`Utc.timestamp(seconds, nanoseconds)`](https://docs.rs/chrono/0.4/chrono/offset/trait.TimeZone.html#method.timestamp)
|
||
|
to construct a [`DateTime<Utc>`](https://docs.rs/chrono/0.4/chrono/struct.DateTime.html) from a UNIX timestamp
|
||
|
(seconds, nanoseconds that passed since January 1st 1970).
|
||
|
|
||
|
Use [`DateTime.timestamp`](https://docs.rs/chrono/0.4/chrono/struct.DateTime.html#method.timestamp) to get the timestamp (in seconds)
|
||
|
from a [`DateTime`](https://docs.rs/chrono/0.4/chrono/struct.DateTime.html). Additionally, you can use
|
||
|
[`DateTime.timestamp_subsec_nanos`](https://docs.rs/chrono/0.4/chrono/struct.DateTime.html#method.timestamp_subsec_nanos)
|
||
|
to get the number of additional number of nanoseconds.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```rust
|
||
|
// We need the trait in scope to use Utc::timestamp().
|
||
|
use chrono::{DateTime, TimeZone, Utc};
|
||
|
|
||
|
// Construct a datetime from epoch:
|
||
|
let dt = Utc.timestamp(1_500_000_000, 0);
|
||
|
assert_eq!(dt.to_rfc2822(), "Fri, 14 Jul 2017 02:40:00 +0000");
|
||
|
|
||
|
// Get epoch value from a datetime:
|
||
|
let dt = DateTime::parse_from_rfc2822("Fri, 14 Jul 2017 02:40:00 +0000").unwrap();
|
||
|
assert_eq!(dt.timestamp(), 1_500_000_000);
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Individual date
|
||
|
|
||
|
Chrono also provides an individual date type ([**`Date`**](https://docs.rs/chrono/0.4/chrono/struct.Date.html)).
|
||
|
It also has time zones attached, and have to be constructed via time zones.
|
||
|
Most operations available to `DateTime` are also available to `Date` whenever appropriate.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```rust
|
||
|
use chrono::prelude::*;
|
||
|
use chrono::offset::LocalResult;
|
||
|
|
||
|
assert_eq!(Utc::today(), Utc::now().date());
|
||
|
assert_eq!(Local::today(), Local::now().date());
|
||
|
|
||
|
assert_eq!(Utc.ymd(2014, 11, 28).weekday(), Weekday::Fri);
|
||
|
assert_eq!(Utc.ymd_opt(2014, 11, 31), LocalResult::None);
|
||
|
assert_eq!(Utc.ymd(2014, 11, 28).and_hms_milli(7, 8, 9, 10).format("%H%M%S").to_string(),
|
||
|
"070809");
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
There is no timezone-aware `Time` due to the lack of usefulness and also the complexity.
|
||
|
|
||
|
`DateTime` has [`date`](https://docs.rs/chrono/0.4/chrono/struct.DateTime.html#method.date) method
|
||
|
which returns a `Date` which represents its date component.
|
||
|
There is also a [`time`](https://docs.rs/chrono/0.4/chrono/struct.DateTime.html#method.time) method,
|
||
|
which simply returns a naive local time described below.
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Naive date and time
|
||
|
|
||
|
Chrono provides naive counterparts to `Date`, (non-existent) `Time` and `DateTime`
|
||
|
as [**`NaiveDate`**](https://docs.rs/chrono/0.4/chrono/naive/struct.NaiveDate.html),
|
||
|
[**`NaiveTime`**](https://docs.rs/chrono/0.4/chrono/naive/struct.NaiveTime.html) and
|
||
|
[**`NaiveDateTime`**](https://docs.rs/chrono/0.4/chrono/naive/struct.NaiveDateTime.html) respectively.
|
||
|
|
||
|
They have almost equivalent interfaces as their timezone-aware twins,
|
||
|
but are not associated to time zones obviously and can be quite low-level.
|
||
|
They are mostly useful for building blocks for higher-level types.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Timezone-aware `DateTime` and `Date` types have two methods returning naive versions:
|
||
|
[`naive_local`](https://docs.rs/chrono/0.4/chrono/struct.DateTime.html#method.naive_local) returns
|
||
|
a view to the naive local time,
|
||
|
and [`naive_utc`](https://docs.rs/chrono/0.4/chrono/struct.DateTime.html#method.naive_utc) returns
|
||
|
a view to the naive UTC time.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Limitations
|
||
|
|
||
|
Only proleptic Gregorian calendar (i.e. extended to support older dates) is supported.
|
||
|
Be very careful if you really have to deal with pre-20C dates, they can be in Julian or others.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Date types are limited in about +/- 262,000 years from the common epoch.
|
||
|
Time types are limited in the nanosecond accuracy.
|
||
|
|
||
|
[Leap seconds are supported in the representation but
|
||
|
Chrono doesn't try to make use of them](https://docs.rs/chrono/0.4/chrono/naive/struct.NaiveTime.html#leap-second-handling).
|
||
|
(The main reason is that leap seconds are not really predictable.)
|
||
|
Almost *every* operation over the possible leap seconds will ignore them.
|
||
|
Consider using `NaiveDateTime` with the implicit TAI (International Atomic Time) scale
|
||
|
if you want.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Chrono inherently does not support an inaccurate or partial date and time representation.
|
||
|
Any operation that can be ambiguous will return `None` in such cases.
|
||
|
For example, "a month later" of 2014-01-30 is not well-defined
|
||
|
and consequently `Utc.ymd(2014, 1, 30).with_month(2)` returns `None`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Non ISO week handling is not yet supported.
|
||
|
For now you can use the [chrono_ext](https://crates.io/crates/chrono_ext)
|
||
|
crate ([sources](https://github.com/bcourtine/chrono-ext/)).
|
||
|
|
||
|
Advanced time zone handling is not yet supported.
|
||
|
For now you can try the [Chrono-tz](https://github.com/chronotope/chrono-tz/) crate instead.
