| description | Native Node.js alternatives to the md5 package for MD5 hash generation |
|---|
If you're using the md5 package, consider using a stronger algorithm where possible. If you must keep MD5 for compatibility, Node.js provides a native alternative via the crypto module.
import crypto from 'node:crypto' // [!code ++]
import md5 from 'md5' // [!code --]
md5('message') // [!code --]
crypto.createHash('md5').update('message').digest('hex') // [!code ++]
