md5-jkmyers

Joseph K. Myers' high performance (in fact, the fastest) MD5 implementation for npm, Bower, Component, etc.

This MD5 implementation was written by Joseph K. Myers and is currently the fastest according to jsperf. I've wrapped it up as a universal module (UMD) for easy consumption with Bower, Component, npm, RequireJS (AMD), CommonJS, etc...

Usage

The module exports a single function that takes one parameter:

md5(String)

On the Client

Bower

bower install md5-jkmyers

Component

component install md5-jkmyers

Then in your html, do

 <script type="text/javascript" src="bower_components/md5-jkmyers/md5.min.js"></script>
 <script type="text/javascript">
   console.log(md5('hello, world!'));
 </script>

On the Server

node.js

Please be aware that node already comes with MD5 built in - see here. Having said that, md5-jkmyers might still be a good and fast alternative (please feel free to contribute perfomance testst):

npm install md5-jkmyers

Then in your code do

md5 = require('md5')
md5('hello, world!')
