speedate
Fast and simple datetime, date, time and duration parsing for rust.
speedate is a lax† RFC 3339 date and time parser, in other words, it parses common ISO 8601 formats.
† - all relaxations of from RFC 3339 are compliant with ISO 8601.
The following formats are supported:
- Date:
YYYY-MM-DD
- Time:
HH:MM:SS
- Time:
HH:MM:SS.FFFFFF
1 to 6 digits are allowed - Time:
HH:MM
- Date time:
YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS
- all the above time formats are allowed for the time part - Date time:
YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS
-T
,t
,_
are allowed as separators - Date time:
YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ
-Z
orz
is allowed as timezone - Date time:
YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS+08:00
- positive and negative timezone are allowed, as per ISO 8601, U+2212 minus−
is allowed as well as ascii minus-
(U+002D) - Date time:
YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS+0800
- the colon (:
) in the timezone is optional - Duration:
PnYnMnDTnHnMnS
- ISO 8601 duration format, see wikipedia for more details,W
for weeks is also allowed - Duration:
HH:MM:SS
- any of the above time formats are allowed to represent a duration - Duration:
D days, HH:MM:SS
- time prefixed byX days
, case-insensitive, spacess
and,
are all optional - Duration:
D d, HH:MM:SS
- time prefixed byX d
, case-insensitive, spaces and,
are optional - Duration:
±...
- all duration formats shown here can be prefixed with+
or-
to indicate positive and negative durations respectively
In addition, unix timestamps (both seconds and milliseconds) can be used to create dates and datetimes.
See the documentation for each struct for more details.
This will be the datetime parsing logic for pydantic-core.
Usage
use speedate::{DateTime, Date, Time};
fn main() {
let dt = DateTime::parse_str("2022-01-01T12:13:14Z").unwrap();
assert_eq!(
dt,
DateTime {
date: Date {
year: 2022,
month: 1,
day: 1,
},
time: Time {
hour: 12,
minute: 13,
second: 14,
microsecond: 0,
},
offset: Some(0),
}
);
assert_eq!(dt.to_string(), "2022-01-01T12:13:14Z");
}
Performance
speedate is significantly faster than chrono's parse_from_rfc3339
and iso8601.

Why not full iso8601?
ISO8601 allows many formats, see ijmacd.github.io/rfc3339-iso8601.
Most of these are unknown to most users, and not desired. This library aims to support the most common formats without introducing ambiguity.
