Go Date Parser --------------------------- Parse Any date format without knowing format in advance. Uses a Scan/Lex based approach to minimize shotgun based parse attempts. See [bench_test.go](https://github.com/araddon/dateparse/blob/master/bench_test.go) for performance comparison. See example https://github.com/araddon/dateparse/blob/master/example/main.go ```go package main import ( "fmt" "github.com/apcera/termtables" "github.com/araddon/dateparse" ) var examples = []string{
