XDate - Modern JavaScript Date Library (Circa 2013)

XDate is a lightweight JavaScript date library released circa 2013, designed as a thin wrapper around the native `Date` object to provide enhanced functionality for parsing, formatting, and manipulating dates. It aims for familiarity by implementing many of the same methods as the native `Date` object and is non-destructive to the DOM, making it safe for inclusion in third-party libraries. The current stable version is 0.8.3, but the package is explicitly no longer actively maintained. The original author recommends migrating to `temporal-polyfill`, which implements the modern JavaScript Temporal API standard, as a direct replacement. Given its deprecated status, XDate does not have an active release cadence and lacks modern JavaScript features like native ESM support.
