kingchenc d59cd44043 docs: standardise language naming + binding security sections (#290)
* docs: standardise language naming and add binding security sections

Canonical binding list everywhere: Rust, Python, Node.js, WASM, C, C++, C#,
Go, Java, R. Use C# (not .NET) as the language label, WASM (not WebAssembly)
in prose, and frame the C ABI as a hub rather than a list item.

- Bump stale indicator counts (200+ -> 514) and family count (sixteen ->
  twenty-four) in the Node/Python/WASM and docs READMEs.
- Add a short Security section to all eight binding READMEs.
- Relabel benchmark rows (C -> C / C++, C# / .NET -> C#).
- Fix the 'language stecker' wording in the C#/Go/R API intros.
- Documentation only; no code or public API changes.

* release.yml: extend install snippets and expose version output

Add the missing registry installs to the release body (dotnet, go, Gradle/
Maven Central, r-universe) alongside cargo/pip/npm, and expose a v-stripped
'version' output from the tag step for the Gradle coordinate. Also fix the
C-ABI language order in the assets note (C# before Go).

* release.yml: correct the release body (10 languages, all registries)

Reframe the tagline to '10 languages' (native Rust/Python/Node.js/WASM + a C
ABI hub for C, C++, C#, Go, Java, R) instead of '4 language registries', note
that C#/Java/Go/R publish to NuGet/Maven/Go/r-universe via their own jobs, and
tidy the Node.js label and the C-ABI hub list.

Wickra — Node.js

CI codecov npm License: MIT OR Apache-2.0

Streaming-first technical indicators for Node.js. npm install wickra — prebuilt native binary, no system dependencies.

Wickra is a multi-language technical-analysis library with a Rust core and bindings for Python, Node.js and WASM, plus a C ABI for C, C++, C#, Go, Java, R and any other C-capable language. Every indicator is an O(1) streaming state machine, so live trading bots and historical backtests share the exact same implementation. This package is the Node.js binding (napi-rs); it exposes all 514 streaming-first indicators across twenty-four families.

Install

npm install wickra

The native addon ships as a prebuilt binary per platform (Linux, macOS, Windows — x64 and arm64), selected automatically through optional dependencies. There is nothing to compile.

Quick start

const wickra = require('wickra');

// Batch: run an indicator over a whole array.
const prices = Array.from({ length: 1000 }, (_, i) => 100 + i * 0.1);
const values = new wickra.RSI(14).batch(prices); // null during warmup

// Streaming: the same indicator, fed tick by tick in O(1).
const rsi = new wickra.RSI(14);
for (const price of liveFeed) {
  const value = rsi.update(price); // no recomputation over history
  if (value !== null && value > 70) {
    console.log('overbought');
  }
}

batch(prices) and feeding the same prices through update() produce identical values — the equivalence is enforced by the test suite.

Benchmark

benchmarks/throughput.js reports streaming and batch updates-per-second for SMA, ATR and MACD. It measures this binding's FFI overhead, not a cross-library ratio (the same Rust core runs under every binding) — see the repository BENCHMARKS.md §3.

npx napi build --platform --release
node benchmarks/throughput.js

Documentation

The full indicator catalogue, guides, quickstarts, and API reference live in the main repository and documentation site:

Wickra ships native bindings for Python, Node.js, WASM and Rust, plus a C ABI hub that any C-capable language (C, C++, C#, Go, Java, R) links against — all exposing the same indicators from the shared, unsafe-forbidden Rust core.

Security

Found a security issue? Please don't open a public issue. Report it privately via the affected repository's Security tab ("Report a vulnerability") or email support@wickra.org with a subject line starting [wickra security]. Full policy: https://github.com/wickra-lib/wickra/blob/main/SECURITY.md.

Disclaimer

Wickra is an indicator toolkit, not a trading system. The values it computes are deterministic transforms of the input data — they are not financial advice and do not predict the market. Any use in a live trading context is at your own risk. The library is provided as is, without warranty of any kind.
