This PHP package is a date string parser that can interpret date strings in various formats. It is implemented using a finite state machine. With this package, developers can easily parse date strings without relying on external libraries or tools.

Getting Started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

```
use OneSeven9955\DateParser\DateParser;
use OneSeven9955\DateParser\ParseException;

// Strict parse: an invalid date string will cause ParseException
try {
    $datetime = DateParser::from('30/04/2025')->parse(); // DateTime { date: 2015-04-30 00:00:00.0 UTC (+00:00) }
} catch (ParseException $ex) {
    printf("Unable to parse the date: %s\n", $ex->getMessage());
}

// Silent parse: an invalid date string will cause null as return value
$datetimeOrNull = DateParser::from('30#04#2025')->parseSilent(); // null
```
