Benchmark: luxon-v-Intl format

HTML Preparation code:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/luxon@2.0.2/build/global/luxon.min.js"></script>

Script Preparation code:

window.__date__ = new Date();
window.__expected__ = '09/24/2021';
window.__intlFormatter = new Intl.DateTimeFormat('en', {
  year: '2-digit',
  month: '2-digit',
  day: '2-digit',
});

Tests:

moment/luxon
var actual = luxon.DateTime.fromJSDate(__date__).toLocaleString(); console.assert(actual === __expected__);
Intl
var actual = window.__intlFormatter.format(__date__); console.assert(actual === __expected__);

Let's dive into the world of JavaScript microbenchmarks!

**What is being tested?**

The provided JSON represents two test cases for measuring the performance of formatting dates using the Intl.DateTimeFormat API (Internationalized) and Luxon libraries.

1. **Intl.DateTimeFormat**: This test case measures how fast it can format a date string using the Intl.DateTimeFormat API.
2. **Luxon**: This test case measures how fast it can format a date string using the Luxon library.

**Options compared:**

The two test cases are comparing the performance of formatting dates using:

1. **Intl.DateTimeFormat**: An internationalized way to format dates, which uses a specific set of rules and patterns to handle different languages and regions.
2. **Luxon**: A modern JavaScript date library that provides a simple and efficient way to work with dates.

**Pros and Cons:**

Here are some pros and cons of each approach:

1. **Intl.DateTimeFormat**:
	* Pros:
		+ Supports internationalization and localization out of the box
		+ Can handle different languages and regions
		+ Part of the W3C standard, which means it's widely supported
	* Cons:
		+ May be slower than native JavaScript libraries due to additional overhead
		+ Requires more configuration options to handle different languages and regions
2. **Luxon**:
	* Pros:
		+ Faster performance compared to Intl.DateTimeFormat
		+ Simpler and easier to use, with fewer configuration options
		+ Provides a wide range of date and time formatting options
	* Cons:
		+ Not part of the W3C standard, which means it may not be supported in all browsers
		+ May require additional libraries or dependencies for internationalization and localization

**Library (Intl.DateTimeFormat)**:

The Intl.DateTimeFormat API is a part of the W3C standard and provides an internationalized way to format dates. It's designed to handle different languages and regions, making it a good choice for applications that need to support multiple languages.

However, it does come with some overhead due to its internationalization features, which may affect performance. Additionally, it requires more configuration options to handle different languages and regions.

**Special JS feature or syntax:**

The test cases use the `__date__` variable, which is a custom variable assigned to a Date object using the `window.__date__ = new Date();` line in the Script Preparation Code. This allows the test case to compare the formatted date string with an expected value.

**Other alternatives:**

If you're looking for alternative libraries or approaches for formatting dates, here are some options:

1. **Moment.js**: A popular JavaScript library for working with dates and times. It provides a wide range of formatting options and is widely supported.
2. **Date-FNS**: A modern JavaScript library for working with dates that provides a simple and efficient way to format dates.
3. **JSDateFormat**: A lightweight JavaScript library for formatting dates, designed to be fast and easy to use.

These alternatives may offer different trade-offs in terms of performance, features, and complexity compared to Intl.DateTimeFormat or Luxon.
