=====

A Node.js wrapper for the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/Windows.Globalization.DateTimeFormatting.aspx" target="_blank">Windows.Globalization.DateTimeFormatting</a> WinRT namespace, compatible with Windows 8.1.

Using this module, you'll be able to consume the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/Windows.Globalization.DateTimeFormatting.aspx" target="_blank">Windows.Globalization.DateTimeFormatting</a> API directly from Node.js.

The API exposed by this module is (almost) the same as the API that is listed in: <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/Windows.Globalization.DateTimeFormatting.aspx" target="_blank">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/Windows.Globalization.DateTimeFormatting.aspx</a>

The only difference in the API is in the way that asynchronous methods and events are used. (See <a href="https://github.com/NodeRT/NodeRT#ConsumingNodeRT" target="_blank">https://github.com/NodeRT/NodeRT#ConsumingNodeRT</a> for more details)
