charcodes offers a comprehensive collection of character codes (Unicode values) as easily accessible constants. This lightweight package simplifies dealing with character properties, especially when performance is critical. Instead of using magic numbers or string comparisons, charcodes provides named constants for various character types, such as digits, whitespace, punctuation, and control characters. This enhances code readability and maintainability, making it a valuable tool for any JavaScript project involving character manipulation.
