A zero-dependency JavaScript implementation of the MD5 hash algorithm, supporting hex-encoded and raw MD5 as well as HMAC-MD5. It works in all web browsers, Node.js, and module loaders like RequireJS and webpack.
Use cases
- compute md5 hash of a string in javascript
- generate hmac-md5 hash in the browser
- hash strings in node.js without dependencies
- calculate checksums client-side
- md5 hashing for legacy systems
When to choose
- you need a lightweight, dependency-free MD5 implementation
- you must match MD5 output of an existing legacy system
- you need both browser and Node.js support from one library
When to avoid
- you need cryptographically secure hashing (use SHA-256 or better)
- you are hashing passwords for storage (use bcrypt/argon2)
- your environment provides a native crypto API
