Bn.js: Detailed Overview & Metrics
Bn.js is a high-performance JavaScript library for arbitrary-precision integer arithmetic. It is commonly used in cryptographic operations, such as encryption, decryption, and digital signatures, where precision and accuracy are crucial. Bn.js provides a wide range of mathematical operations for working with large integers, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and modular arithmetic.
Compared to native JavaScript number handling, Bn.js offers precise calculations without the risk of overflow or loss of precision. It is actively maintained and widely used in the Node.js ecosystem for secure and reliable cryptographic operations.
