Date, Time and Currency Formatter

When creating applications, it's often necessary to display dates, times and currencies to users in a format that's easily understandable. This feature allows us to convert dates and times from ISO format to a more human-readable format and converts numerical data into a currency format, ensuring that currency symbols, decimal separators match the conventions familiar to the user.

What is an ISO format? ISO 8601 is an international standard covering the worldwide exchange and communication of date and time-related data.

ISO 4217:2015 specifies the structure for a three-letter alphabetic code and an equivalent three-digit numeric code for the representation of currencies. The most common ISO Date Format yyyy-MM-dd — for example, "2000-10-31". The most common ISO Date Time Format is yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss. SSSXXX — For example, "2000-10-31T01:30:00.000-05:00" An ISO currency example, The US dollar is represented as USD and Euro is represented as EUR.
