" summary

A concrete toolkit that brings ICU-style formatting into single‑page apps: FormatJS implements the Intl API (with polyfills), provides helpers like formatNumber, formatDate and formatMessage, and supplies integrations for Handlebars, Dust and React. It handles message pluralization and a relative time helper, targets server + client rendering tradeoffs, is used to format millions of items at scale (Yahoo cited ~800 million users), and is designed to work across evolving JS frameworks.
