crc32 · JavaScript Function to Calculate CRC32 of a String

Back to the Live Example

Description

Below is a JavaScript function to calculate CRC32 of a string. The string can be either ASCII or Unicode. Unicode strings will be encoded in UTF-8. The polynomial used in calculation is 0xedb88320. This polynomial is used in Ethernet, Gzip, PNG, SATA and many other technologies.
var crc32 = (function () {

    var table = []
    for (var i = 0; i < 256; i++) {
        var c = i
        for (var j = 0; j < 8; j++) {
            c = (c & 1) ? (0xedb88320 ^ (c >>> 1)) : (c >>> 1)
        }
        table.push(c)
    }

    return function (str, crc) {
        str = unescape(encodeURIComponent(str))
        if (!crc) crc = 0
        crc = crc ^ (-1)
        for (var i = 0; i < str.length; i++) {
            var y = (crc ^ str.charCodeAt(i)) & 0xff
            crc = (crc >>> 8) ^ table[y]
        }
        crc = crc ^ (-1)
        return crc >>> 0
    }
