When it fits — and when it doesn’t

Known weaknesses

Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

1. 01

   Limited documentation and examples

   The official documentation lacks detailed examples and use cases, making it difficult for new users to understand how to effectively integrate Hasha into their projects.

2. 02

   Small community and limited support

   GitHub issues are not frequently addressed by maintainers, and there is a lack of active contributors or discussions in the community forums.

3. 03

   Performance limitations with large files

   Hasha may experience performance degradation when hashing very large files due to its memory usage patterns, which can be problematic for applications dealing with big data.

What it does well

• Supports hashing of buffers, strings, streams, and files.

• Simple API for easy integration into Node.js projects.

• Wide range of hash algorithms supported.
