# Timezone [![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/bigeasy/timezone.png?branch=master)](http://travis-ci.org/bigeasy/timezone)

Format time in JavaScript using the IANA time zone database. (Photo: Sundial by

[Wolfgang Staudt](http://www.flickr.com/people/wolfgangstaudt/).)

```javascript

var tz = require('timezone/loaded'),

    equal = require('assert').equal,

    utc;

// Get POSIX time in UTC.

utc = tz('2012-01-01');

// Convert UTC time to local time in a localize language.

equal(tz(utc, '%c', 'fr_FR', 'America/Montreal'),

      'sam. 31 déc. 2011 19:00:00 EST');

```
