time zone database

The time zone database is an organized record that tracks the world’s various time zones and their rules, including changes like daylight saving time. It helps software and systems accurately convert times across different locations by knowing each area's local time adjustments. This database updates regularly to account for governmental decisions on time changes worldwide. Essentially, it ensures that time-related information remains consistent and accurate, regardless of where or when in the world it's used, enabling seamless coordination across different regions.
