The Best Sort is a production ready framework designed for big data and machine learning. Users should be aware of the following security considerations:
-
No Cryptographic Functions: This library does not provide cryptographic operations. Do not attempt to use it for secure data handling.
-
Event Loop Blocking: Large arrays or small delays may cause event loop blocking, affecting application responsiveness.
-
No Input Validation at Edges: While the library validates internal operations, it assumes input data is pre-validated by the caller.
- Use in isolated environments where timing jitter is acceptable
- Do not use for real-time systems or security-critical applications
- Regularly update to the latest version
- Monitor for security announcements
- Report any unusual behavior
- Type-safe implementation using TypeScript strict mode
- Decorator-based validation of array inputs
- Immutable configuration through Singleton pattern
- Event-driven architecture for transparent operations
- Support for custom observers to monitor all operations
The Best Sort has minimal dependencies:
- TypeScript (dev dependency)
- @types/node (dev dependency)
All dependencies are reviewed for security vulnerabilities. Regular dependency audits are performed using npm audit.
We follow the principles of responsible disclosure:
- Do not publicly disclose vulnerabilities until a patch is available
- Provide sufficient time (typically 90 days) for patch development and deployment
- Credit researchers who report vulnerabilities (if desired)
- Work with researchers to verify fixes
