After using Mootools for a while, I was once more comparing it to Jquery, and was pretty lost trying to find out how to do date parsing and number formatting with the latter.
A search returns loads of plugins with no documentation, you don't know which one satisfies your requirements and is mantained.

I don't think the core of jQuery is really intended to provide anything in this area at all. I think the usual approach would be to use whatever you'd be using without jQuery.

In Mootools, its intuitive to find those at http://mootools.net/docs/more/Types/Date and http://mootools.net/docs/more/Types/Number.Format, and you know they are good to use because they are official.
What is the usual approach Jquery developers take when they need something like this?
