hash-wasm offers high-performance hashing algorithms compiled to WebAssembly. It supports various popular algorithms like SHA-256, SHA-512, Blake3, and xxHash directly in the browser and Node.js. Leveraging WebAssembly ensures near-native speeds for cryptographic operations, improving performance compared to JavaScript-based hashing libraries. Ideal for client-side data integrity checks, digital signatures, and secure storage without relying on server-side processing. Includes streaming APIs for handling large files efficiently.
