Why do I have to use Bixby's DateTime library instead of Javascript's Date reference?

Since Bixby converses with end-users via Natural Language, there are many ways a particular date and/or time can be referenced such as "October 3rd next year" and "4am tomorrow" in addition to the standard "January 1, 2019". Javascript's Date reference does not capture and handle all of these types of inputs.

Bixby's DateTime library, viv.time, provides a more comprehensive parsing capability to allow your capsule to understand and handle various types of DateTime inputs with greater ease.

However, we understand that capsules you create may be a part of an existing solution that uses Javascript's DateTime and, thus, will be allowing the use of Javascript's DateTime in your capsule Javascript Actions shortly.
