Go Date Parser 
---------------------------

Parse many date strings without knowing format in advance.  Uses a scanner to read bytes and use a state machine to find format.  Much faster than shotgun based parse methods.  See [bench_test.go](https://github.com/araddon/dateparse/blob/master/bench_test.go) for performance comparison.

**MM/DD/YYYY VS DD/MM/YYYY** Right now this uses mm/dd/yyyy WHEN ambiguous if this is not desired behavior, use `ParseStrict` which will fail on ambiguous date strings.

**Timezones** The location your server is configured affects the results!  See example or https://play.golang.org/p/IDHRalIyXh and last paragraph here https://golang.org/pkg/time/#Parse.


```go

// Normal parse.  Equivalent Timezone rules as time.Parse()
t, err := dateparse.ParseAny("3/1/2014")

// Parse Strict, error on ambigous mm/dd vs dd/mm dates
t, err := dateparse.ParseStrict("3/1/2014")
> returns error 

// Return a string that represents the layout to parse the given date-time.
layout, err := dateparse.ParseFormat("May 8, 2009 5:57:51 PM")
> "Jan 2, 2006 3:04:05 PM"

```
