> Modular standard library for JavaScript. Includes polyfills for [ECMAScript up to 2023](https://github.com/zloirock/core-js#ecmascript): [promises](https://github.com/zloirock/core-js#ecmascript-promise), [symbols](https://github.com/zloirock/core-js#ecmascript-symbol), [collections](https://github.com/zloirock/core-js#ecmascript-collections), iterators, [typed arrays](https://github.com/zloirock/core-js#ecmascript-typed-arrays), many other features, [ECMAScript proposals](https://github.com/zloirock/core-js#ecmascript-proposals), [some cross-platform WHATWG / W3C features and proposals](#web-standards) like [`URL`](https://github.com/zloirock/core-js#url-and-urlsearchparams). You can load only required features or use it without global namespace pollution.

[*Example of usage*](https://tinyurl.com/2mknex43):
```js
import 'core-js/actual';
Promise.resolve(42).then(it => console.log(it)); // => 42
Array.from(new Set([1, 2, 3]).union(new Set([3, 4, 5]))); // => [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
[1, 2].flatMap(it => [it, it]); // => [1, 1, 2, 2]
(function * (i) { while (true) yield i++; })(1)
.drop(1).take(5)
.filter(it => it % 2)
.map(it => it ** 2)
.toArray(); // => [9, 25]
structuredClone(new Set([1, 2, 3])); // => new Set([1, 2, 3])
```
*You can load only required features*:
```js
import 'core-js/actual/promise';
import 'core-js/actual/set';
import 'core-js/actual/iterator';
import 'core-js/actual/array/from';
import 'core-js/actual/array/flat-map';
import 'core-js/actual/structured-clone';
Promise.resolve(42).then(it => console.log(it)); // => 42
Array.from(new Set([1, 2, 3]).union(new Set([3, 4, 5]))); // => [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
[1, 2].flatMap(it => [it, it]); // => [1, 1, 2, 2]
(function * (i) { while (true) yield i++; })(1)
.drop(1).take(5)
.filter(it => it % 2)
.map(it => it ** 2)
.toArray(); // => [9, 25]
structuredClone(new Set([1, 2, 3])); // => new Set([1, 2, 3])
```
*Or use it without global namespace pollution*:
```js
import Promise from 'core-js-pure/actual/promise';
import Set from 'core-js-pure/actual/set';
import Iterator from 'core-js-pure/actual/iterator';
import from from 'core-js-pure/actual/array/from';
import flatMap from 'core-js-pure/actual/array/flat-map';
import structuredClone from 'core-js-pure/actual/structured-clone';
Promise.resolve(42).then(it => console.log(it)); // => 42
from(new Set([1, 2, 3]).union(new Set([3, 4, 5]))); // => [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
flatMap([1, 2], it => [it, it]); // => [1, 1, 2, 2]
Iterator.from(function * (i) { while (true) yield i++; }(1))
.drop(1).take(5)
.filter(it => it % 2)
.map(it => it ** 2)
.toArray(); // => [9, 25]
structuredClone(new Set([1, 2, 3])); // => new Set([1, 2, 3])
```
