emoji-data-js

NodeJS library providing low level operations for dealing with Emoji glyphs in the Unicode standard. 🆒

EmojiData.js is like a swiss-army knife for dealing with Emoji encoding issues. If all you need to do is translate :poop: into 💩, then there are plenty of other libs out there that will probably do what you want. But once you are dealing with Emoji as a fundamental part of your application, and you start to realize the nightmare of doublebyte encoding or variants, then this library may be your new best friend. :raised_hands:

EmojiData.js is written by the same author as the Ruby emoji_data.rb gem, which is used in production by Emojitracker.com to parse well over 100M+ emoji glyphs daily. This version was written to provide all the same functionality while taking advantage of the crazy speed of the V8 runtime environment. 💫
