Project Info
HijrahDateTime is a Kotlin/JVM library that is built on top of java.time to facilitates work with Hijrah date and time APIs.
The Java.time API provides a comprehensive set of classes for working with date and time and shortcuts for working with them, abstracting the complexity of the date and time calculations. However, this is only limited to the georgian calendar. Although the API provides some support for the Hijrah calendar, it’s not enough to work with it effectively. Some features are missing, while others are available but not straightforward to use and require a deeper understanding of Java.time APIs in order to use them, and there are almost no code shortcuts compared with the existing ISO calendar classes and functions. However, the Hijrah calendar is the main calendar used in daily life in the Islamic world, and it’s important to have a comprehensive set of classes and functions to work with it effectively.
The HijrahDateTime library aims to fill this gap and provide a comprehensive set of classes and functions to work with the Hijrah calendar effectively, and to provide shortcuts for working with the Hijrah calendar as there are for the ISO calendar in the java.time API. Abstracting the work with the Hijrah calendar, and providing shortcuts for working with it, will make it easier to work with the Hijrah calendar, and will make the development process faster and more efficient, and will reduce the complexity of the code, by the well of Allah.
