fb-tiger-hash
A Native JS implementation of Tiger hash.
Provides a cross-platform Tiger hash implementation that supports the flipped byte-order (endianness) of PHP's original Tiger implementation for backwards compatability.
See its use in HHVM
It's main intended use is for the Facebook FBT internationalization framework, where a hashing algorithm is supplied to create unique identifiers from source strings and their descriptions.
NOTE: This implementation is not optimized for reading large blocks of

input into memory in a Buffer.
