64bit Long Integer on Buffer/Array/ArrayBuffer in Pure JavaScript
npm install int64-buffer64bit Long Integer on Buffer/Array/ArrayBuffer in Pure JavaScript




JavaScript's number type, based on IEEE-754, can only handle 53 bits of precision.
This module provides two pairs of classes: Int64BE/Uint64BE and Int64LE/Uint64LE, which can hold 64-bit long integers without losing any bits.
- Int64BE/Int64LE for signed integers, Uint64BE/Uint64LE for unsigned integers.
- Int64BE/Uint64BE for big-endian, Int64LE/Uint64LE for little-endian.
- Buffer/Uint8Array/Array/Array-like storage of 8 bytes length with offset.
- No mathematical methods provided, such as add(), sub(), mul(), div(), etc.
- Optimized only for 64 bits. If you need Int128, use bignum or similar libraries.
- Small. 3KB when minified. No other modules required. Portable pure JavaScript.
- Tested on node.js v18, v20, v22 and Web browsers.
Int64BE is the class to host a 64-bit signed long integer int64_t.
``js
import {Int64BE} from "int64-buffer";
const big = new Int64BE(-1);
console.log(big - 0); // -1
console.log(big.toBuffer()); //
`
It uses Buffer on Node.js and Uint8Array on modern Web browsers.
Uint64BE is the class to host a 64-bit unsigned positive long integer uint64_t.
`js
import {Uint64BE} from "int64-buffer";
const big = new Uint64BE(Math.pow(2, 63)); // a big number with 64 bits
console.log(big - 0); // 9223372036854776000 = IEEE-754 loses last bits
console.log(big + ""); // "9223372036854775808" = perfectly correct
`
Int64LE and Uint64LE work the same way as above but with little-endian storage.
