WebAssembly Toolchains

Comprehensive development toolchains to compile, optimize, and run native WebAssembly binaries.

Compiler Workflow

Source Build .wasm C/C++ Rust WASI LLVM Emscripten WASM

Compilers

WebAssembly supports a wide range of compilers including LLVM (Clang), Emscripten, and Rust's wasm32 target. These tools translate native code into the .wasm binary format.

  • LLVM: Compile C/C++ to WebAssembly
  • Emscripten: HTML5 with JavaScript & WebAssembly
  • WASI: WebAssembly System Interface standard
  • Wasmtime: Standalone WebAssembly execution

Developer Tooling

Powerful development tools are available for debugging, profiling, and optimizing WebAssembly modules including:

  • wasm-opt (Binaryen)
  • wasm-validate
  • wasm-merge
  • wasi-crdt
