I’m showing times on RESTXQ generated pages that need to be adjusted for a particular time zone. Doing the time zone adjustment is easy enough but I realized that knowing whether or not a given time zone should be standard or daylight time
is a challenge not directly addressed by the XQuery time functions.
So my question: does anyone have a technique for determining if a given time zone or region is using DST?
Of course I can hard-code some sort of DST calendar for the time zones I know I need (U.S. time zones, European Central Time, India Standard Time) but it seemed like there ought to be a more general solution somewhere.
My server is running on Linux but is developed and tested on macOS.
Thanks,
Eliot
