tweetnacl-util-js
=================

String encoding utilities extracted from early versions of

Notice
------

Encoding/decoding functions in this package are correct,
however their performance and wide compatibility with uncommon runtimes is not
something that is considered important compared to the simplicity and size of
implementation. For example, they don't work under
React Native.

Instead of this package, I strongly recommend using my StableLib packages:

* @stablelib/utf8 for UTF-8
encoding/decoding (note that the names of operations are reversed compared to
this package): npm install @stablelib/utf8

* @stablelib/base64 for
constant-time Base64 encoding/decoding: npm install @stablelib/base64

Installation
------------

Use a package manager:

Bower:

$ bower install tweetnacl-util

NPM:

$ npm install tweetnacl-util

or download source code.

Usage
------

To make keep backward compatibility with code that used nacl.util previously
included with TweetNaCl.js, just include it as usual:

``



`

When using CommonJS:

`
var nacl = require('tweetnacl');
nacl.util = require('tweetnacl-util');
`
