Is there a javascript equivalent implementation of java.util.Calendar API? It will be quite handy to do date manipulation with it around.

I had to build a complex scheduling system with the Java Calendar API a couple years ago. I will admit it is powerful and sophisticated but mainly, it is a big pain in the ass. It is way to complicated for your average date/time calculations. I just can't believe others are looking for a similar API for different languages. – Jesse Webb May 13 '11 at 20:27

Though not exact http://momentjs.com/ is much better in many ways ! I would go for this if given a choice.
Formatting dates
moment().format('MMMM Do YYYY, h:mm:ss a');
moment().format('dddd');
moment().format("MMM Do YY");
moment().format('YYYY [escaped] YYYY');
moment().format();

Timeago
moment("20111031", "YYYYMMDD").fromNow();
moment("20120620", "YYYYMMDD").fromNow();
moment().startOf('day').fromNow();
moment().endOf('day').fromNow();
moment().startOf('hour').fromNow();
11 months ago
3 months ago
an hour ago
in a day
28 minutes ago
Calendar Time
moment().subtract('days', 10).calendar();
moment().subtract('days', 6).calendar();
moment().subtract('days', 3).calendar();
moment().subtract('days', 1).calendar();
moment().calendar();
moment().add('days', 1).calendar();
moment().add('days', 3).calendar();
moment().add('days', 10).calendar();

Also a this would get you many answers.

That's a calendar widget, not a library for performing computations involving dates and times. – Mike Samuel Sep 22 '12 at 23:54
