Faster Alternative to MD5 in JavaScript or JQuery
<p>I often code in PHP and for caching I like to use the md5 of a particular request (ie an sql statement) as the name of my cache key. md5 gives me a pretty string that is unique and thus, the reason why I use it.</p>

<p>Now, I am trying to implement some caching at the browser level using JQuery. It is for an address verifier form. To reduce the number of ajax calls I was thinking of turning the given address into a unique string that I could use as a key in an array.</p>

<p>Now I know there are plenty of JS MD5 solutions out there, but I was curious to know if JS or even JQuery have something native that I could use. Something like md5 or base64Encode.</p>
