## Basic Usage

The util module is the toolbelt for many additionally functions, mostly conversions and so called [value objects](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value_object) like used for [Signa and Planck](docId\:OXXjeao-QFaprW71w9iW9) and/or [Token Quantities](docId\:TLhQA9w2Ja8I7DHEyvoBH). Furthermore, the package provides&#x20;

- Hexadecimal, Base64, Base36 and String conversions
- Deeplinking parser and generator
- Timestamp, Quantity and Signa/Planck value objects
- and more

:::CodeblockTabs
```javascript
const {Amount} = require('@signumjs/util');
 
console.log('100 SIGNA are',Amount.fromSigna(100).getPlanck(), 'Plancks')
```

\<script/>

```javascript
console.log('100 SIGNA are', sig$util.Amount.fromSigna(100).getPlanck(), 'Plancks')
```
