wasmer
Wasmer
is the most popular
WebAssembly runtime for Rust. It supports JIT (Just
In Time), AOT (Ahead Of Time) compilation, an experimental interpreter as well
as pluggable compilers suited to your needs.
It's designed to be safe and secure, and runnable in any kind of environment.
Usage
Here is a small example of using Wasmer to run a WebAssembly module written with its WAT format (textual format):
use ;

Features
Wasmer is not only fast, but also designed to be highly customizable:
-
Pluggable compilers — A compiler is used by the engine to transform WebAssembly into executable code:
wasmer-compiler-singlepass
provides a fast compilation-time but an unoptimized runtime speed,wasmer-compiler-cranelift
provides the right balance between compilation-time and runtime performance, useful for development,wasmer-compiler-llvm
provides a deeply optimized executable code with the fastest runtime speed, ideal for production.
-
Pluggable interpreters (experimental) -
wamr
, a feature provided by thewasmer
crate, provides binding to the interpreter provided byWAMR
. More informations about this experimental backend can be found in the dedicated documentation. -
Headless mode — Once a WebAssembly module has been compiled, it is possible to serialize it in a file for example, and later execute it with Wasmer with headless mode turned on. Headless Wasmer has no compiler, which makes it more portable and faster to load. It's ideal for constrainted environments.
-
Cross-compilation — Most compilers support cross-compilation. It means it possible to pre-compile a WebAssembly module targetting a different architecture or platform and serialize it, to then run it on the targetted architecture and platform later.
-
Run Wasmer in a JavaScript environment — With the
js
Cargo feature, it is possible to compile a Rust program using Wasmer to WebAssembly. In this context, the resulting WebAssembly module will expect to run in a JavaScript environment, like a browser, Node.js, Deno and so on. In this specific scenario, there is no engines or compilers available, it's the one available in the JavaScript environment that will be used.
Wasmer ships by default with the Cranelift compiler as its great for development purposes. However, we strongly encourage to use the LLVM compiler in production as it performs about 50% faster, achieving near-native speeds.
Note: if one wants to use multiple compilers at the same time, it's also possible! One will need to import them directly via each of the compiler crates.
