DateTi...at::XSD(3pm)

💖 DateTime::Format::XSD — the Perl manual, but make it a group chat 💖

okay so bestie, this is DateTime::Format::XSD, a lil Perl module that formats your DateTime objects according to xsd:dateTime. that's it. that's the whole job. and it does it flawlessly. ✨

---

✨ VERSION ✨

version 0.4 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

the whole vibe, in one line:

my $str = DateTime::Format::XSD->format_datetime($dt);

yes girl, that's it. one call and you're done. no cap. 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea, bestie ☕ — XML Schema defines a usage profile that is a subset of the ISO8601 profile. and this profile is strict. like, stricter than your group chat's rules about spoilers. it says the following is the ONLY possible representation for a dateTime, despite all the other options ISO is out here offering:

YYYY-MM-DD"T"HH:MI:SS(Z|[+-]zh:zm)

literally the only one. ISO gives you options, XSD says "no <3" 🫶

and here's the part you need to know: this module is a subclass of DateTime::Format::ISO8601. so what that means is — it can parse all the other ISO options (she's flexible, she's versatile, she contains multitudes ✨) but when it comes to formatting, she will only ever format it in this exact spec. parse like an icon, format like a rule-follower. 👑
