Wasmer is modularized into different libraries, separated into three main sections:
The core of Wasmer is the runtime, which provides the necessary abstractions to create a good user experience when embedding.
The runtime is divided into two main libraries:
- runtime-core: The main implementation of the runtime.
- runtime: Easy-to-use API on top of
runtime-core.
The integration builds on the Wasmer runtime and allow us to run WebAssembly files compiled for different environments.
Wasmer intends to support different integrations:
- emscripten: run Emscripten-generated WebAssembly files, such as Lua or nginx.
- Go ABI: we will work on this soon! Want to give us a hand? ✋
- Blazor: research period, see tracking issue
The Wasmer runtime is designed to support multiple compiler backends, allowing the user to tune the codegen properties (compile speed, performance, etc) to best fit their use case.
Currently, we support multiple backends for compiling WebAssembly to machine code:
- clif-backend: Cranelift backend
- llvm-backend: LLVM backend
