Internationalize your Web Applications with Globalize.js - Alolita Sharma, AWS
Globalize.js is one of the most popular open source JavaScript internationalization libraries used by web applications today. This library is leveraged both by large enterprises and by startups to support i18n and L10n. It interfaces with client platforms (e.g., via React) and server implementations (e.g., via Node.js). Globalize.js uses Unicode CLDR data and closely follows the UTS#35 specification. This talk will introduce the key features of Globalize.js and then highlight new capabilities, performance optimizations, and data distribution mechanisms that have been added recently. The talk will also cover feature requests yet to be implemented and how you can contribute to Globalize.js.
