Java's BigDecimal
- 5 KB minified and gzipped

inclusive
- Replicates the toExponential, toFixed, toPrecision and toString methods of
Javascript's Number type
- Includes a toFraction and a squareRoot method
- Stores values in an accessible decimal floating point format
- No dependencies
- Comprehensive documentation and test set
.
If an even smaller and simpler library is required see big.js. It's half the
size but only works with decimal numbers and only has half the methods. It
neither allows NaN or Infinity, or have the configuration options of this
library.
.
This package provides bignumber support to clients (i.e. browsers).
