Need More Date Ranges? Go-TinyDate

Unix timestamps only supports dates from 1970 to 2106. If you need a larger date range, take a look at go-tinydate which uses day-month-year underneath. Keep in mind go-tinydate doesn't support more than day precision.

Why?

If you don't have resource constraints, then don't use tinytime! Use the standard time pacakge.

go-tinytime works well in the following situations:

You're okay with only to-the-second precision
You're working in embedded systems where memory is a luxury
You're storing many dates and smaller memory footprint is desired
You're 101% sure you don't need a date range larger than 1970-2106

API

Godoc: https://godoc.org/github.com/wagslane/go-tinytime

Tinytime mirrors the time.Time API for the most part. The only methods that are not included are the ones that makes no sense without timezone support.

Formatting

All formatting is done via the time.Time package's formatting capabilites.

Transient Dependencies

None! And it will stay that way, except of course for the standard library.

Note: Currently the testify package is used only for testing, but that dependency will be removed in coming updates.
