What is webcrypto-shim?
webcrypto-shim is a JavaScript library that provides a shim implementation of the W3C Web Cryptography API for legacy browsers. It enables consistent cryptographic operations across different browsers by fixing incomplete or prefixed implementations in browsers like Internet Explorer 11 and Safari 8-10. The library allows developers to use the standard window.crypto.subtle API without worrying about browser-specific differences.
Web developers building applications that require cryptographic operations and need to support legacy browsers like IE11 and older Safari versions. Frontend engineers maintaining enterprise applications with cross-browser compatibility requirements.
Developers choose webcrypto-shim because it provides a lightweight, focused solution for Web Crypto API compatibility without polyfilling modern browsers. It specifically targets only browsers with broken implementations, maintaining native performance in Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari 11+.
