BigNumber.js is a JavaScript library that provides arbitrary-precision arithmetic for working with large numbers that exceed the limitations of standard JavaScript numbers. It allows precise calculations with integers and decimals without losing accuracy due to floating-point errors. BigNumber.js offers a wide range of mathematical operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and more, making it ideal for financial calculations, cryptography, and other scenarios requiring high precision.

Compared to native JavaScript number handling, BigNumber.js ensures accurate results for calculations involving large numbers or decimal values. It is actively maintained, with regular updates and bug fixes, making it a reliable choice for projects requiring precise arithmetic operations.
