Fb-tiger-hash NPM

fb-tiger-hash

A Native JS implementation of Tiger hash.

Provides a cross-platform Tiger hash implementation that supports the flipped byte-order (endianness) of PHP's original Tiger implementation for backwards compatability.

See its use in HHVM

It's main intended use is for the Facebook FBT internationalization framework, where a hashing algorithm is supplied to create unique identifiers from source strings and their descriptions.

NOTE: This implementation is not optimized for reading large blocks of data or streams. It both expects a simple string AND loads the entire input into memory in a Buffer.
