Unbox a boxed JavaScript primitive value (for example, Boolean, String, Number, BigInt, or Symbol) back into its underlying primitive. Useful when you need to extract the primitive safely across realms or if you want to avoid relying on `instanceof` or mutable properties.

Recent updates
v1.1.0
v1.1.0 adds TypeScript type definitions for unbox-primitive, and refactors the implementation to use the `call-bound` package instead of `call-bind/callBound`. It also updates several dependencies and test fixtures, and changes CI workflows to split Node 10-20 and 20+ test jobs. The publisher release notes field contains no details, so most user-impacting changes are not described there.
