# Overview

The js-digitalbits-base library is the lowest-level digitalbits helper library. It can be used in a browser or in node.js. It is mainly used to read, create and
sign [transactions](https://developer.digitalbits.io/guide/concepts/transactions.html). This library is used and exposed by
[js-digitalbits-sdk](https://github.com/digitalbitsorg/js-digitalbits-sdk) but you can use it by itself if you don't need to communicate with Frontier.
