Script Preparation code:

dayjs.extend(window.dayjs_plugin_utc)
dayjs.extend(window.dayjs_plugin_timezone)

window.__date__ = '2024-05-30 08:33';
window.__format__ = 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm';
window.__timezone__ = 'Europe/Warsaw';
window.__luxon__ = luxon;
window.__dayjs__ = dayjs;

Tests:

luxon
const current = __luxon__.DateTime.now().setZone(__timezone__); const end = __luxon__.DateTime.fromFormat(__date__, 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm', { zone: __timezone__ }); const timeDiff = (time1, time2) => time1.valueOf() - time2.valueOf(); timeDiff(end, current.startOf('minute'));
dayjs
const current = __dayjs__().tz(__timezone__); const end = __dayjs__.tz(__date__, 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm', __timezone__); end.diff(current);

Let's break down the benchmark and explain what's being tested.

**What is being tested?**

The benchmark compares two JavaScript libraries: dayjs and luxon, specifically their performance when working with dates and times.

**Options compared**

Two main options are being compared:

1. **luxon**: A modern date and time library developed by Mozilla. It provides a robust set of features for working with dates and times, including zone-based calculations.
2. **dayjs**: A popular date and time library that offers a simple and intuitive API for working with dates and times.

**Pros and cons**

Here are some pros and cons of each approach:

**Luxon:**

Pros:

* Robust feature set, including zone-based calculations
* Fast and efficient implementation
* Well-maintained and actively developed

Cons:

* Steeper learning curve due to its more comprehensive feature set
* Requires a deeper understanding of date and time mathematics

**Dayjs:**

Pros:

* Simple and intuitive API for working with dates and times
* Easy to learn and use, even for developers without extensive experience in date and time calculations
* Fast performance and low overhead

Cons:

* Less robust feature set compared to luxon, particularly when it comes to zone-based calculations
* May not be suitable for complex date and time calculations or applications that require high precision.

**Library descriptions**

In the benchmark preparation code, two libraries are used:

1. **dayjs**: A popular JavaScript library for working with dates and times. It provides a simple and intuitive API for parsing, formatting, and manipulating dates and times.
2. **luxon**: A modern date and time library developed by Mozilla. It offers a robust set of features for working with dates and times, including zone-based calculations.

**Special JS feature or syntax**

Neither the benchmark code nor the library documentation mentions any special JavaScript features or syntax that would affect the execution of the benchmark.

**Other alternatives**

If you're looking for alternative libraries to dayjs and luxon, here are a few options:

1. **Moment.js**: A popular JavaScript library for working with dates and times. It provides a simple and intuitive API for parsing, formatting, and manipulating dates and times.
2. **Date-fns**: A small and fast JavaScript library for working with dates and times. It offers a set of utility functions for common date and time calculations.
3. **Moment-timezone**: A fork of moment.js that adds support for time zones.

These alternatives may offer different trade-offs in terms of feature set, performance, and ease of use, so it's worth exploring their documentation and benchmark results to determine which one best fits your needs.
