Blazingly fast CRC implementations for node.js and browser

crc

The module for calculating Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) for Node.js and the Browser.

Features

• Full test suite comparing values against reference pycrc implementation.
• Pure JavaScript implementation, no dependencies.
• ES6 modules.
• Provides CRC tables for optimized calculations.
• Provides support for the following CRC algorithms:
  • CRC1 (crc1)
  • CRC8 (crc8)
  • CRC8 1-Wire (crc81wire)
  • CRC16 (crc16)
  • CRC16 CCITT (crc16ccitt)
  • CRC16 Modbus (crc16modbus)
  • CRC16 Kermit (crc16kermit)
  • CRC16 XModem (crc16xmodem)
  • CRC24 (crc24)
  • CRC32 (crc32)
  • CRCJAM (crcjam)

Installation

npm install crc

Usage

Calculate a CRC32 (recommended way):

import crc32 from 'crc/crc32';
crc32('hello').toString(16);
// "3610a686"

Import everything (this may bloat bundle size):

import crc from 'crc';
crc.crc32('hello').toString(16);
// "3610a686"

Or use CommonJS (compatability mode, no longer recommended):

const { crc32 } = require('crc');
crc32('hello').toString(16);
// "3610a686"

Calculate a CRC32 of a file:

crc32(fs.readFileSync('README.md', 'utf8')).toString(16);
// "127ad531"

Or using a Buffer:

crc32(fs.readFileSync('README.md', 'utf8')).toString(16);
// "127ad531"

Incrementally calculate a CRC32:

value = crc.crc32('one');
value = crc.crc32('two', value);
value = crc.crc32('three', value);
value.toString(16);
// "9e1c092"

Important: Node >= 6.3.0 < 6.9.2

There's was a bug in Node #9342 that affected CRC calculation if Buffer.split() is used (see issue discussion for details). This affected all version starting from 6.3.0 up to but not including 6.9.2. The patch #9341 was released in 6.9.2. If you are upgrading and seeing odd CRC calculation mismatches, this might be the reason.

Running tests

npm test

Thanks!

pycrc library is which the source of all of the CRC tables.
