## Introduction

This is a Julian calendar in the style of date.h. Everything is the same here as for date.h, except that the calendrical arithmetic implements a proleptic Julian calendar.

The `julian` calendar can interoperate with date.h and tz.h just by paying attention to the namespace. For example to convert the civil date `2016_y/jun/26` to a julian date, just do:

>     #include "julian.h"
>     #include <iostream>

>     int
>     main()
>     {
>         using namespace date::literals;
>         std::cout << julian::year_month_day{2016_y/jun/26} << '\n';
>     }

This outputs:

>     2016-06-13

And here is the reverse conversion:

>     #include "julian.h"
>     #include <iostream>

>     int
>     main()
>     {
>         using namespace julian::literals;
>         std::cout << date::year_month_day{2016_y/jun/13} << '\n';
>     }

Which outputs:

>     2016-06-26

You can even convert directly to the ISO-week-based calendar:

>     #include "iso_week.h"
>     #include "julian.h"
>     #include <iostream>

>     int
>     main()
>     {
>         using namespace julian::literals;
>         std::cout << iso_week::year_weeknum_weekday{2016_y/jun/13} << '\n';
>     }

Which outputs:

>     2016-W25-Sun

You can find the current local julian date and time with:

>     #include "julian.h"
>     #include "tz.h"
>     #include <iostream>

>     int
>     main()
>     {
>         auto zt = date::make_zoned(date::current_zone(), std::chrono::system_clock::now());
>         auto ld = date::floor<date::days>(zt.get_local_time());
>         julian::year_month_day ymd{ld};
>         auto time = date::make_time(zt.get_local_time() - ld);
>         std::cout << ymd << ' ' << time << '\n';
>     }

Example output:

>     2016-06-13 18:38:30.049598
