+# dot-net-date-number-formatting
+
+A TypeScript library that provides .NET-compatible date/time and numeric formatting for JavaScript/TypeScript applications. This library implements format string parsing and formatting similar to Microsoft's .NET Framework, enabling cross-platform compatibility for applications that need to maintain consistent formatting between .NET and JavaScript/TypeScript.
+
+## Overview
+
+This library provides three main components:
+
+- **DateTime Formatting** - Format dates using .NET standard and custom date/time format strings
+- **Numeric Formatting** - Format numbers using .NET standard and custom numeric format strings  
+- **Number Parsing** - Parse numbers with configurable style requirements (hex, currency, thousands separators, etc.)
+
+Built on top of JavaScript's `Intl` API for locale-aware formatting while maintaining compatibility with .NET format string syntax.
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+npm install @pbkware/dot-net-date-number-formatting
+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### DateTime Formatting
+
+```typescript
+import { DotNetDateTimeFormatter, DotNetLocaleSettings } from '@pbkware/dot-net-date-number-formatting';
+
+const formatter = new DotNetDateTimeFormatter();
+formatter.localeSettings = DotNetLocaleSettings.createInvariant();
+
+// Standard format
+formatter.trySetFormat('d');  // Short date
+console.log(formatter.toString(new Date(2024, 6, 5)));  // "7/5/2024"
+
+// Custom format
+formatter.trySetFormat('yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss');
+console.log(formatter.toString(new Date(2024, 6, 5, 14, 30, 0)));  // "2024-07-05 14:30:00"
+```
+
+### Numeric Formatting
+
+```typescript
+import { DotNetFloatFormatter, DotNetLocaleSettings } from '@pbkware/dot-net-date-number-formatting';
+
+const formatter = new DotNetFloatFormatter();
+formatter.localeSettings = DotNetLocaleSettings.createInvariant();
+
+// Currency format
+formatter.trySetFormat('C2');
+console.log(formatter.toString(1234.56));  // "$1,234.56"
+
+// Custom format
+formatter.trySetFormat('#,##0.00');
+console.log(formatter.toString(1234.56));  // "1,234.56"
+```
+
+### Number Parsing
+
+```typescript
+import { DotNetFloatFormatter, DotNetNumberStyles } from '@pbkware/dot-net-date-number-formatting';
+
+const formatter = new DotNetFloatFormatter();
+formatter.styles = DotNetNumberStyles.number;
+
+const result = formatter.tryFromString('1,234.56');
+if (result.isOk()) {
+  console.log(result.value);  // 1234.56
+}
+```
+
+## Documentation
+
+Comprehensive documentation is available at library [website](https://pbkware.github.io/dot-net-date-number-formatting/)
+
+## Use Cases
+
+- **Cross-platform applications** - Maintain consistent formatting between .NET backends and JavaScript/TypeScript frontends
+- **Data export/import** - Format data for consistent serialization across platforms
+- **Multi-locale applications** - Support users in different regions with locale-aware formatting
+- **Financial applications** - Format currency and numeric values with precise control
+- **Report generation** - Create formatted reports with .NET-compatible output
+- **Round trip formatting/parsing** - Formatting and then parsing a value with the same format string will return the same value.
+
+## Features
+
+### DateTime Formatting
+- ✅ All standard date/time format strings (d, D, f, F, g, G, M, O, s, t, T, u, Y)
+- ✅ Custom format strings with day, month, year, hour, minute, second specifiers
+- ✅ Fractional seconds (f, F)
+- ✅ AM/PM designators
+- ✅ Literal text in format strings
+- ⚠️ Limited time zone support
+
+### Numeric Formatting
+- ✅ All standard numeric format strings (C, D, E, F, G, N, P, R, X, B)
+- ✅ Custom format strings with digit placeholders (0, #)
+- ✅ Section separators for positive/negative/zero values
+- ✅ Thousands separators and number scaling
+- ✅ Percentage and per mille formatting
+- ✅ Scientific notation
+- ✅ Hexadecimal and binary formats
+
+### Number Parsing
+- ✅ Configurable parsing styles (whitespace, signs, parentheses, etc.)
+- ✅ Currency symbol support
+- ✅ Thousands separator support
+- ✅ Exponential notation
+- ✅ Hexadecimal parsing

+
+## History
+
+This library was created by porting the relevant portions of the Delphi library [TFieldedText](https://sourceforge.net/projects/tfieldedtext/) (at [SourceForge](https://sourceforge.net/projects/tfieldedtext/)) (Note that the commit attributions are incorrect in TFieldedText - they should be attributed to Paul Klink.)  The porting and documentation was carried out with AI (GitHub co-pilot).
