//! A Rust parser for the [WebAssembly Text format][wat]
//!
//! This crate contains a stable interface to the parser for the [WAT][wat]
//! format of WebAssembly text files. The format parsed by this crate follows
//! the [online specification][wat].
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! Parse an in-memory string:
//!
//! ```
//! # fn foo() -> wat::Result<()> {
//! let wat = r#"
//!     (module
//!         (func $foo)
//!
//!         (func (export "bar")
//!             call $foo
//!         )
//!     )
//! "#;
//!
//! let binary = wat::parse_str(wat)?;
//! // ...
//! # Ok(())
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! Parse an on-disk file:
//!
//! ```
//! # fn foo() -> wat::Result<()> {
//! let binary = wat::parse_file("./foo.wat")?;
//! // ...
//! # Ok(())
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! ## Evolution of the WAT Format
//!
//! WebAssembly, and the WAT format, are an evolving specification. Features are
//! added to WAT, WAT changes, and sometimes WAT breaks. The policy of this
//! crate is that it will always follow the [official specification][wat] for
//! WAT files.
//!
//! Future WebAssembly features will be accepted to this parser **and they will
//! not require a feature gate to opt-in**. All implemented WebAssembly features
//! will be enabled at all times. Using a future WebAssembly feature in the WAT
//! format may cause breakage because while specifications are in development
//! the WAT syntax (and/or binary encoding) will often change. This crate will
//! do its best to keep up with these proposals, but breaking textual changes
//! will be published as non-breaking semver changes to this crate.
//!
//! ## Stability
//!
//! This crate is intended to be a very stable shim over the `wast` crate
//! which is expected to be much more unstable. The `wast` crate contains
//! AST data structures for parsing `*.wat` files and they will evolve was the
//! WAT and WebAssembly specifications evolve over time.
//!
//! This crate is currently at version 1.x.y, and it is intended that it will
//! remain here for quite some time. Breaking changes to the WAT format will be
//! landed as a non-semver-breaking version change in this crate. This crate
//! will always follow the [official specification for WAT][wat].
