ExCron is a simple library that will generate the next instance of a [cron](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron)
schedule or all instances within a given date range. The design and implementation of the parser and matcher are
inspired by the [Quantum](https://github.com/c-rack/quantum-elixir) library and episodes 161 and 162 of
[ElixirSips](http://elixirsips.com).

ExCron is only meant to work with cron schedules. [Repeatex](https://github.com/rcdilorenzo/repeatex) offers similar
functionality using natural English expressions.s
