Big.js is a JavaScript library for arbitrary-precision arithmetic, allowing precise handling of large numbers without losing accuracy due to JavaScript's limitations with floating-point arithmetic. It provides methods for basic arithmetic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, as well as advanced functions like square root and exponentiation. Big.js is particularly useful for financial calculations, cryptography, and any scenario requiring high precision arithmetic.

Compared to native JavaScript number handling, Big.js ensures accurate results for calculations involving large numbers or decimal points. It is actively maintained and widely used in projects where precision is crucial.
