IANA timezone Dataset with Windows Zones Mapping in .json and .sqlite

[young jungle]

Hi D Lang Community! 👋

Built a Python tool that generates timezone data in JSON & SQLite formats.
Includes IANA timezone data + Windows timezone mappings, so it's great for cross-platform D applications.

Nice

For my project I've used data from this repo:

Thanks for the link, I didn't know about it.

Could save you times from having to parse raw IANA tzdata and windowsZones.xml files manually in D!
Why would anyone parse it manually in D? D is built for parsing files! And can do it at compile time as well.

Question is do you want all that in your executable?

[final rapids]

You have the option of doing it in the executable or as a separate tool.

One option is to build a library out of it that can be loaded on demand

I think I would use the sqlite db if I ever need TZ data.
