xdb-digitalbits-base v5.3.0

JS DigitalBits Base

The xdb-digitalbits-base library is the lowest-level digitalbits helper library. It consists of classes to read, write, hash, and sign the xdr structures that are used in digitalbits-core. This is an implementation in JavaScript that can be used on either Node.js or web browsers.

• API Reference

Warning! Node version of this package is using sodium-native package, a native implementation of Ed25519 in Node.js, as an optional dependency. This means that if for any reason installation of this package fails, xdb-digitalbits-base will fallback to the much slower implementation contained in tweetnacl.

If you are using xdb-digitalbits-base in a browser you can ignore this. However, for production backend deployments you should definitely be using sodium-native. If sodium-native is successfully installed and working DigitalBitsBase.FastSigning variable will be equal true. Otherwise it will be false.
