It depends on hijridate, which is its own actively maintained successor package. The library provides Hijri and Gregorian classes for date manipulation and comparison.\n\nThe package is explicitly deprecated and will receive no further updates. Its documentation directs all new users to install hijridate instead, which offers identical API and functionality. Existing code using hijri-converter can migrate by changing only the import statement\u2014the classes and methods remain the same.","worth_installing":"No. Do not install hijri-converter. The package is deprecated (Development Status :: 7 - Inactive) and explicitly directs users to hijridate instead. If you need Hijri-Gregorian conversion, install hijridate directly\u2014it has identical API and active maintenance.
