## JavaScript

[JavaScript Examples](https://github.com/ccxt/ccxt/tree/master/examples/js)

These examples might require the following super-useful high-quality Node.js modules by [xpl](https://github.com/xpl):

- [ololog](https://github.com/xpl/ololog): Platform-agnostic logging with blackjack and hookers ([ololog @ npm](https://npmjs.com/package/ololog))
- [ansicolor](https://github.com/xpl/ansicolor): A quality JavaScript library for the ANSI color/style management ([ansicolor @ npm](https://npmjs.com/package/ansicolor))
- [as-table](https://github.com/xpl/as-table): A simple function that prints objects as ASCII tables ([as-table @ npm](https://npmjs.com/package/as-table))

All of the modules above are installed with the ccxt library devDependencies by npm automatically.
