This `cron-expression` library can parse cron expressions like `* * * * *` and check if it is due or not. You are also able to determine the next or previous running dates.

This parser can handle anything the normal cron syntax accepts. with 1 exception and that are the named constructs (e.g. mon-thu or jan-dec).
