SHA-256 core implementation in pure ECMAScript, for node or browser, in a functional-ish style, copyright free. Use however you want.
Has somewhat decent functional tests, if I do say so my self, and in
my performance tests gets a little over 120MiB/s (hashing the same
in-memory data), in comparison to Ubuntu's sha256sum
getting over
300MiB/s on a (sparse) 600MiB file. I have not yet compared to the
performance of the existing npm packages.
Will run into float64 precision errors past 2**50 byte files, but that would take over 100 days to run on my machine, so I'm not too concerned!
Returns an opaque state object, representing an empty byte stream.
Given a hash state object and some data, updates the state in-place
Finishes the state, making it unusable, and formats the final hash as a 64 character hexadecimal digest (64 chars * 4 bits per hex char = 256 bits).
Finishes the state, making it unusable, and returns the raw final hash as
an 8 element Uint32Array
. Note that this is not a Uint8Array or Buffer,
and the underlying ArrayBuffer
stores the bytes in a machine-dependent endian
order.
This is intended for lower-level usages.
A CLI wrapper for this might look like:
const fs = require("fs");
const sha256 = require("@simonbuchan/sha-256");
async function main() {
const state = sha256.create();
for await (const chunk of fs.createReadStream(process.argv[2])) {
sha256.update(state, chunk);
}
const hex = sha256.digest(state);
console.log(hex);
}
main().catch((error) => {
console.error(error);
process.exit(1);
});
