Namecoin support for Bitpay's "Bitcore" Bitcoin JavaScript library[1].

https://github.com/brandonrobertz/bitcore-namecoin

The goals are, aside from 100% namecoin/namecoin core compatibility, high test coverage (currently at 95%) and ease-of-use (you can create a name_new transaction in a few lines of code). The code is MIT licensed.

For those who don't know: Bitcore is a JS implementation of Bitcoin functionality. You can create addresses, create and sign transactions, import raw transactions, import/export WIFs (from vanitygen for example) all in native JavaScript. bitcore-namecoin extends much of Bitcore's functionality by patching a couple functions that otherwise hardcode Bitcoin P2SH/P2PKH style transactions. I am also working with the Bitpay developers to improve Bitcore's altcoin compatibility in general.

With bitcore-namecoin, you can create name_new, name_firstupdate, and name_update transactions, offline, in Node.js or the browser. You can run through the examples on the github README, and also check out the unit tests for more code examples.
