crc32

Standard CRC-32 algorithm implementation in JS (for the browser and nodejs). Emphasis on correctness and performance.

Installation

With npm:

$ npm install crc-32

In the browser:

<script src="crc32.js"></script>

The script will manipulate module.exports if available (e.g. in a CommonJS require context). This is not always desirable. To prevent the behavior, define DO_NOT_EXPORT_CRC

Usage

In all cases, the relevant function takes a single argument representing data.

The return value is a signed 32-bit integer.

  • 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 the low byte of the UCS-2 char: str.charCodeAt(i) & 0xFF

  • CRC32.str(string) interprets the argument as a standard JS string

For example:

> // var CRC32 = require('crc-32'); // uncomment this line if in node
> CRC32.str("SheetJS")                          // -1647298270
> CRC32.bstr("SheetJS")                         // -1647298270
> CRC32.buf([ 83, 104, 101, 101, 116, 74, 83 ]) // -1647298270

> [CRC32.str("\u2603"),  CRC32.str("\u0003")]   // [ -1743909036,  1259060791 ]
> [CRC32.bstr("\u2603"), CRC32.bstr("\u0003")]  // [  1259060791,  1259060791 ]
> [CRC32.buf([0x2603]),  CRC32.buf([0x0003])]   // [  1259060791,  1259060791 ]

Testing

make test will run the node-based tests.

To run the in-browser tests, run a local server and go to the ctest directory. To update the browser artifacts, run make ctest.
