@pacote/u32

Unsigned 32-bit integers.

This package exists because while modern JavaScript environments support very large integers via the BigInt type, it is not available in older browsers and tooling doesn't always transpile BigInt operations into a backwards-compatible format.

If you target ECMAScript 2020 or later, you will probably not need this.

The U32 type provided by this package is represented as a tuple of two 16-bit integers. For example, the number 1 is [1, 0]. It is not an object class with built-in methods. Instead of methods, the package provides functions to support commonly-used operations.
