JavaScript does not support 64-bit signed and unsigned integers natively. There's two options to support them:

Use a datastore for precision storing of the 64-bit integers. This could be the default array returned by ctype's r/wsint64 and r/wuint64 functions or something like node-int64.
Coerce the value into the JavaScript number (a double precision float).

This will be used in messages and reading/writing to buffers.
