Many web pages must show internationalized data, like numbers and dates (or, at least, formatted for a single locale). All server technologies (Java/PHP/.NET) offers means to format and parse data from strings, but, standard JavaScript has a very small suport.
Parsers is a script that contains several classes descending from the Parser class, wich contains two methods: parse and format.
