date comparison in jslt

[kuanghsuan]

Is there any way for us to get the current date and compare with "2021-01-01" to see which one is earlier?

In that date format comparing dates as strings works the same as comparing dates directly, so the comparison is easy.

now gets you the current date and time.

format-time will let you convert the date+time to the date format you need.
