Do you use a DateTime wrapper?
https://github.com/aeon-php/calendar comes with object representation of TimeUnit, more advanced iterators over TimePeriods, time ranges and overlaps detection, leap seconds support, Unix/UTC/TAI/GPS timestamps plus few handy extensions like holidays, business hours, retries, precise sleep, stopwatch, rate limiter. It’s a wrapper on an excellent native DateTime that does not extend it.

Aeon Calendar library pre 1.0 release feedback request
Hey, We are planning to release version 1.0 with long term support of https://github.com/aeon-php/calendar library and we thought it's a good time to ask for some feedback. How this library is different from other great libraries available in the wild? The main difference is that it does not extend \DateTime or \DateTimeImmutable, but instead it provides own fully immutable DateTime replacement. Why? There are few reasons but the most important one is to provide better and safer, Object Oriented API to work with DateTime/Date/Time/TimeZone/TimeUnit and TimePeriods. Safer means that the whole library API is designed to expose commonly misunderstood concepts and make them explicit, like for example adding month to given date expects to precisely define number of days DateTime::add(TimeUnit::days(30)); as a TimeUnit instance or use relative time unit DateTime::add(RelativeTimeUnit::month()); Calendar is the core library and it comes with few extra things like support for LeapSeconds, different Time Epoch (TAI, GPS), TimePeriods (iterating, overlapping, merging, finding gaps, sorting etc) or precise time measurement. There are few more libraries built on top of calendar, like for example Business Hours, Holidays (which is just an abstraction and bridge for other libraries), Rate Limiter, Retry but they all waits for the the calendar to be stabilized. You can find them here https://github.com/aeon-php

Do you use a DateTime wrapper?
Damn, I didn't know that someone bothered to make a wrapper. I did make a simple wrapper to deal with Time values (24 nours as float fraction) I wrote this C-extension to read TOML files, which is only coded for PHP 8.0 and above, and TOML specifies both 12/24 hour values, easily implemented as a DayTime class, and also full calendar date values, for which DateTime is entirely adequate. At https://github.com/betrixed/php_toml
What are some alternatives?
When comparing calendar and php_toml you can also consider the following projects:
Carbon - A simple PHP API extension for DateTime.
CodeIgniter - Open Source PHP Framework (originally from EllisLab)
period - Complex period comparisons
date-time - Date and time library for PHP
read-time - Get estimated read time of an article. Similar to medium.com's "x min read". Multilingual including right-to-left written languages. Supports JSON, Array and String output.
