Big.js is a JavaScript library for arbitrary-precision decimal arithmetic. It allows precise handling of large numbers without losing accuracy due to JavaScript's limitations with floating-point arithmetic. Big.js is commonly used in financial applications, scientific computations, and any scenario where precision is crucial. It provides methods for basic arithmetic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, as well as comparison and rounding functions.

Compared to native JavaScript number handling, Big.js ensures accurate results for calculations involving large numbers or decimal points. It is actively maintained and offers a reliable solution for developers needing precise arithmetic operations in their applications.
