Bn.js is a high-performance JavaScript library for arbitrary-precision integer arithmetic. It is commonly used for 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 loss of precision, making it ideal for applications that require exact numerical results. It is actively maintained and widely used in the cryptographic and blockchain development communities.
