You make a good point, I'm not familiar with many of these libraries. Can you please provide some links.

I'm familiar with:

- Stripe jQuery.payment.js (formance is based on this project, extended beyond payment forms) https://github.com/stripe/jquery.payment

- Masked Input (good for basic formatting, and does not include validating) https://github.com/digitalBush/jquery.maskedinput

- Validate.js (does not include formatting) http://rickharrison.github.io/validate.js/

I was just speaking in general terms. I am not familiar enough with this particular niche to know all the competing libraries, which is basically my original point. I wouldn't use a library like this in any major product of mine until I did the necessary research and decided it was truly the best option. I imagine numerous other developers have the same process before relying on a library for their own projects. That is a lot of redundant work researching and evaluating these things.

I think he meant JS libraries in general. Not just formatting libraries.
