WebAssembly Interface Types library for Wasmer
Documentation

This crate contains an implementation of WebAssembly Interface Types (abbreviated WIT). It is composed of 5 parts:

  1. Types and Values: To represent the WIT types and values representations,
  2. AST: To represent the WIT language as a tree (which is not really abstract). This is the central representation of the language.
  3. Decoders: To read the AST from a particular data representation; for instance, [decoders::binary::parse] reads the AST from a binary.
  4. Encoders: To write the AST into a particular format; for instance, [encoders::wat] writes the AST into a string representing WIT with its textual format.
  5. Interpreter: WIT defines a concept called Adapters. An adapter contains a set of instructions. So, in more details, this module contains:
  • A very light and generic stack implementation, exposing only the operations required by the interpreter,
  • A stack-based interpreter, defined by:
  • A compiler that transforms a set of instructions into a set of executable instructions,
  • A stack,
  • A runtime that holds the “invocation inputs” (arguments of the interpreter), the stack, and the WebAssembly instance (which holds the exports, the imports, the memories, the tables etc.),
  • An hypothetic WebAssembly runtime, represented as a set of enums, types, and traits —basically this is the part a runtime should take a look to use the wasmer-interface-types crate—.
