node-libs-browser

The node core libs for in-browser usage.

NOTE: This library is deprecated and won't accept Pull Requests that include Breaking Changes or new Features. Only bugfixes are accepted.

Exports a hash [object] of absolute paths to each lib, keyed by lib names. Modules without browser replacements are `null`.

Some modules have mocks in the `mock` directory. These are replacements with minimal functionality.

# Outdated versions

## <tt>buffer</tt>

The current `buffer` implementation uses feross/buffer@4.x because feross/buffer@5.x relies on typed arrays. This will be dropped as soon as IE9 is not a typical browser target anymore.

## <tt>punycode</tt>

The current `punycode` implementation uses bestiejs/punycode.js@1.x because bestiejs/punycode.js@2.x requires modern JS engines that understand `const` and `let`. It will be removed someday since it has already been deprecated from the node API.
