# crc32
Standard CRC-32 algorithm implementation in JS (for the browser and nodejs).
Emphasis on correctness and performance.
## Installation
In [nodejs](https://www.npmjs.org/package/crc-32):
npm install crc-32
In the browser:
<script lang="javascript" src="crc32.js"></script>
The browser exposes a variable CRC32
## Usage
- `CRC32.buf(byte array or buffer)` assumes the argument is a set of 8 bit
unsigned integers (e.g. nodejs `Buffer` or simple array of ints)
- `CRC32.bstr(binary string)` interprets the argument as a binary string where
the `i`-th byte is `str.charCodeAt(i)`
- `CRC32.str(string)` interprets the argument as a standard JS string
## Testing
`make test` will run the nodejs-based test. To run the in-browser tests, run a
local server and go to the `ctest` directory. To update the browser artifacts,
run `make ctest`.
## Performance
`make perf` will run performance tests.

Unexpected code patterns were based on performance testing in node and browser:

## In the future ...
- Specifying an arbitrary initial CRC value
- Supporting different polynomials (e.g. CRC32C)
