A javascript Bitcoin library for node.js and ACTUALLY FOR BROWSERS.
Released under the terms of the MIT LICENSE.
bower install bitcoinjs-lib-for-browsers#4.0.2 --save<script src="bower_components/bitcoinjs-lib-for-browsers/dist/bitcoinjs-lib-4.0.2.min.js"></script>The master branch represents stable version 4.0.2.
The bitcoinjs-lib developers are very responsible and very security conscious. They recommend every bitcoinjs user audit and verify any underlying code for its validity and suitability. Their motto is:
Don't trust. Verify.
Their insistence on user verification has caused them not to include a compiled and minified distrubution of their js library for the browser.
As noble as this is; it is massively inconvenient for developers wishing to use bitcoinjs-lib quickly in the browser, without having to install a long list of dependancies and learn the intricacies of Browserify.
I believe that if you understand the risks of using a pre-compiled version of bitcoinjs-lib, there is no reason why this shouldn't be made freely available. bitcoinjs-lib should not be restricted to developers running node servers and elitist developers that are able to compile it.
