{"library":"sodium-javascript","type":"library","category":null,"description":"sodium-javascript is a pure JavaScript implementation of the libsodium cryptographic library's API, leveraging `tweetnacl` as its foundation. It was developed to provide a browser-compatible alternative to `sodium-native`, which is a Node.js native addon binding to the C libsodium library. The package's current stable version is 0.8.0, but it explicitly states 'WIP - Work In Progress' in its README and was last published over four years ago (January 2022). This suggests the project is largely unmaintained or abandoned. Its key differentiator was offering a pure JavaScript fallback for environments where native bindings are not feasible (e.g., browsers). For modern cross-platform libsodium usage, alternatives like `libsodium-wrappers` (which utilizes WebAssembly for better performance and broader API coverage) are generally recommended.","language":"javascript","status":"abandoned","version":"0.8.0","tags":["javascript"],"install":[{"cmd":"npm install sodium-javascript","imports":["const sodium = require('sodium-javascript')","const sodium = require('sodium-javascript'); sodium.crypto_secretbox_easy(...)","const sub = require('sodium-javascript/submodule-name')"]},{"cmd":"yarn add sodium-javascript","imports":[]},{"cmd":"pnpm add sodium-javascript","imports":[]}],"homepage":null,"github":"https://github.com/sodium-friends/sodium-javascript","docs":null,"changelog":null,"pypi":null,"npm":"https://www.npmjs.com/package/sodium-javascript","openapi_spec":null,"status_page":null,"smithery":null,"compatibility":{"summary":{"python_range":"18–22","success_rate":0,"avg_install_s":null,"avg_import_s":null,"wheel_type":null},"url":"https://checklist.day/v1/registry/sodium-javascript/compatibility"},"provenance":{"verified_status":null,"verified_at":null,"last_verified":"Wed Jun 17","next_check":"Sat Jul 18","install_tag":null}}
