JavaScript Intl Internationalization

Format money, numbers, and dates for the reader's language and country.

Intl formats numbers, money, and dates for a place and a language. You do not need a big date library for the common cases.

A price in the US is not written the same way as a price in Pakistan. Dates change too. Intl uses the rules for the locale you pass in.

You can also sort words the way a given language expects, and you can show a time like "3 days ago".
