README
# date [](https://travis-ci.org/matthewmueller/date) [](http://libscore.com/#date)
Date is an english language date parser for node.js and the browser. For examples and demos, see: [http://matthewmueller.github.io/date/](http://matthewmueller.github.io/date/)
**Update:** date.js now has much better NLP support thanks to [@kengz](https://github.com/kengz)
## Installation
### On the server or in the browser:
npm install date.js
#### Standalone:

* minified: [date.min.js](https://raw.github.com/MatthewMueller/date/master/dist/date.min.js)
> Standalone is also AMD-compatible
