I'm looking for a list of time zones that corresponds to major cities. Like what java.util.TimeZone can provide. I mean, I want to resolve the America/Los_Angeles identifier to UTC-8:00 in javascript.

Is there already an existing JSON file or format that has this feature?

I came across to this which is close to what I'm looking.

UPDATE

Solution: Detect the ID of the current user timezone using moment.js (Did not answer my question directly but solved my problem)

    Take database that fits your requirements and generate JSON from it. – zerkms Aug 14 '15 at 06:35
  • I think this one does not need database since it is a fix or less chance to change in the future. I asked because I'm hoping that someone has already a known approach to it. – yesterdaysfoe Aug 14 '15 at 06:40
  • Any idea of doing the reverse. Given the offset, it returns the abbreviated form of the timezone. – Dhiraj Gandhi Jan 11 '19 at 12:37
  • You could convert the array in this [answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/54500197/217867) to JSON quite easily. – Lonnie Best Feb 03 '19 at 05:47

  • yup, I had also came across to this but I think this will not solve my question, It simply get the identifier of settled timezone identifier. Anyways, can you provide example of how to use it? – yesterdaysfoe Aug 14 '15 at 06:50
  • Lot's of sample code in the docs http://momentjs.com/timezone/docs/#/using-timezones/ – Jon G Stødle Aug 14 '15 at 06:51
  • @JonStødle thanks! [Zone Object](http://momentjs.com/timezone/docs/#/zone-object/) is quite close but as I mention **It simply get the identifier of settled timezone identifier.** – yesterdaysfoe Aug 14 '15 at 07:03
