Timestamp Microservice

A Node.js-based API that checks whether a string contains a Unix timestamp or a natural language date. If the string contains a date, the API returns both the Unix timestamp and the natural language form of that date. If the string does not contain a date or Unix timestamp, it returns null for those properties.
