Introduction

At some point I'm going to try to justify the creation of this project: there are (probably) plenty of other localization/internationalization/humanization modules out there for JavaScript, so why did I create yet another one? That's a good question but one I'm not going to answer right now. In the meantime, just take a look...

Details

JSHumanizer is going to be a lightweight JavaScript module for rendering numbers, currency, dates, times etc. in locale- and language-specific formats. Right now it does integers, decimals and dates/times. It's specifically designed to tie in well with server-side localization. Typically, a web application or web site will identify the most appropriate language to render server-generated content in based on the HTTP Accept-Language header. This module is designed to render client-generated content based on the same inferred language and with identical, or, at least, compatible results. I intend to write more about the client-server interactions at some point and, perhaps most importantly, I hope to present concrete examples.
