MurmurHash in WASM for Node.js and the browser.
Generated documentation is here: https://murmurhash-wasm.jonah.pw.
The WASM is inlined into the JS file to prevent issues from loading the module.
Hashes a provided key with a seed using the MurmurHash3 algorithm yielding a 32-bit hash.
Refer to the documentation for more info.
import {MurmurHash3} from 'murmurhash-wasm';
const key = 'hello';
const seed = 0;
const hash = MurmurHash3.hash32(key, seed);
const hex = hash.toString('hex');
// '5844da46'
const value = hash.readUInt32BE();
// 1480907334npm install murmurhash-wasm
# or
yarn add murmurhash-wasmWhen running in the browser the global Buffer object will be used when available.
If it's not defined the library will use feross/buffer as a fallback (a ponyfill).
The global Buffer will never be modified or globally polyfilled.
Some benchmarks for the library are available in the benchmark/ directory of the source.
See contributing.md for info on how to run them yourself.
The results on my MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019) are shown below:
crypto
--> MD5: 681,199ops/sec
--> SHA-1: 681,663ops/sec
murmurhash-wasm
--> MurmurHash3 32-bit: 793,651ops/sec
As you can see, this library performs slightly better than the native crypto MD5 and SHA-1 hash function implementations.
It's important to mention that the MurmurHash variants are not cryptographic hash functions like SHA-1 and MD5 were originally designed to be. Comparing them isn't done to say "this library is a faster alternative than MD5 and SHA-1", but rather "here's how this library compares to similar hashing solutions".
