## Routes
```shell
/{time}[.{ext}]
/{rel|relative}/{time}[.{ext}]
/{abs|absolute}/{time}[.{ext}]
```
- If relative or absolute is not specified, it will be the opposite of the time string's format.
### Query Parameters
- `format` - Specify the format of the time string
- `tz` - Specify the timezone of the time string. May be ignored if the time string contains a timezone/offset.

## Input Parsing
- Separators can be any of the following: `.`, `,`, `-`, `:` and ` `.
- They must be consistent through the date section and the time section (they can be different between the two).
- Date order can be modified with `?date=[YMD|DMY|MDY]`. By default, it is `YMD`.
- Date formatting will be guesswork, but can be specified with `?format=` parameter.
- To avoid abuse, it will be limited to a subset of the `chrono` formatting options.
- The assumed extension when not specified is `.svg` for performance sake.
- `.png` is also available. `.jpeg` and `.webp` are planned.
- Time is not required, but will default each value to 0 (except HOUR, which is the minimum specified value).
- Millisecond precision is allowed, but will be ignored in most outputs. Periods or commas are allowed as separators.
- Timezones can be qualified in a number of ways, but will default to UTC if not specified.
