Is there a bignum library for JavaScript or built-in that I can include like
<script type="text/javascript" src="the_bignum_library.js"></script>
?
I think my users would prefer to enter numbers in a web page and wait 7 seconds for a result, rather than download an executable and click through a bunch of "this executable could possibly harm your computer" warning screens to install it.
I've considered basing my own off of http://github.com/silentmatt/javascript-biginteger or http://www.mainebrook.com/john/fun/euler.html. Or would you recommend calling from JavaScript into a Java bignum library such as apfloat?

If you need arbitrary-precision decimal numbers, use Javascript-bignum. This represents numbers as a sequence of decimal digits.

Big Number.
This will work great for my application. (Although technically this library can't exactly represent 1/7, it comes close enough for my application).

This library's internal representation is to store the number as a decimal string. This is very slow for larger numbers and operations.
