Chronic for Javascript?

I'm looking for something like the Ruby Chronic library, but for Javascript. The main things I need to be able to do is parse natural time entry, not dates. For example:

Typing   Would Give
------   ----------
8a       08:00
8:30p    20:30
8:01开发者_开发知识库 AM  08:01
21:22    21:22
noon     12:00
midnight 00:00

I could write it myself, but before I go off and tackle it, I wanted to know if there was something already available.

I'm using jQuery already, so if there's a plugin, that would be hoopy too.

Thanks!

In place of my previous answer recommending Date.js, I'd like to update my answer by recommending Moment.js instead. It's a stable project that is still under active development. In addition, it is far more feature-filled and has a superior API. :)

Date.JS is a wonderful JS library for working with dates and times.

Comparison support for Ruby Chronic.com date and time input formats.
