Bn.js is a high-performance JavaScript library for arbitrary-precision integer arithmetic. It is commonly used in cryptographic algorithms, big number calculations, and other scenarios where precision and performance are crucial. Bn.js provides a wide range of mathematical operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, exponentiation, and modular arithmetic on large integers.
Compared to native JavaScript number handling, Bn.js offers precise calculations without loss of precision due to JavaScript's limitations with large numbers. It is actively maintained and optimized for performance, making it a reliable choice for applications requiring precise arithmetic operations on big numbers.
