Builtins that were extracted from node-browser-resolve on which browserify depends
This is used by browserify
module. Initially these files were in node-browser-resolve
but disappeared in v1.0.1
which broke browserify
dependency. This module is that missing dependency.
This decision behind not supporting legacy browsers was made to reduce the maintenance and allow usage of more advanced browser features such as TypedArrays. Please do not supply pull requests there adds support for legacy browsers. Instead we recommend that you use the necessary polyfills for legacy browser support. Should you be willing to start your own complete browser-builtins polyfills project, then feel free to contact us for tips and hints.
Requireing this module gives you a simple map between the modulename and a
filepath to the module containing the shim. You can then point to these files
in your pseudo-node implementation. Note that beyond the nodecore modules
there is also a process module, there mimics global.process
in node.

When fixing a bug please check the following:
node-browser-builtins
uses zuul for client side testing. In summary, all you will need is a Saucelabs account (free one will work just fine). To get up and running with it, please follow zuul instructions.
Finally, just run:
npm test
