Read smart card certificate with Javascript

Question

I need to know if there's possible to read smart card certificate with Javascript. NodeJS would be ok solution. I explored and found NodeJS plugin

xml-crypto

for digital signing xml, it's working great, but I wrote correct path to the certificate.pem on my disc (it wasn't on smart card). How would it work with smart cards then?

There is a node.js binding for pcsc-lite (in case your code runs on linux)

Thanks. Are you sure it can't be run on windows? – firstChild May 05 '15 at 07:48
acording to ludovic rousseaus blog post from september 2014 there is no windows support available (yet?) http://ludovicrousseau.blogspot.co.at/2014/09/pcsc-sample-in-javascript-nodejs.html – Nikolaus Gradwohl May 05 '15 at 08:47
