Dayjs is a lightweight JavaScript library that provides a simpler alternative to Moment.js for handling dates and times in your applications. Both versions 1.8.20 and 1.8.21 offer the same core functionality: a minimalist, immutable API for parsing, validating, manipulating, and formatting dates. One of the most compelling features of Dayjs is its small size, typically around 2KB, making it ideal for performance-sensitive environments. This helps reduce your application's bundle size, leading to faster load times and improved user experience.
From a developer's perspective, the API remains consistent between these two versions, ensuring a smooth transition if you're upgrading. While the dependencies and devDependencies are identical, the key difference lies in the dist section. Version 1.8.21 has a slightly larger unpackedSize of 428162 bytes compared to 426174 bytes in version 1.8.20. This suggests that the newer version potentially includes minor bug fixes, performance improvements, or small feature enhancements. Developers should consider upgrading to version 1.8.21 to benefit from the latest refinements and stability improvements. The release date also differentiates the two with the newer version released on February 26, 2020 and the older one released on February 4, 2020. Dayjs is a good choice for developers looking for a modern and efficient date manipulation library, and upgrading to the latest patch version is generally recommended.
