WebAssembly (Wasm) is a binary instruction format for a stack-based virtual machine. It enables high-performance execution in web browsers and beyond, providing near-native execution speed for code written in C, C++, Rust, and other languages.
Key Concepts
Binary format for executable code
Stack-based virtual machine
Near-native performance in browsers
Language-agnostic compilation target
Sandboxed execution environment
Common Use Cases
High-performance web applications
Video/image processing
Games
Scientific simulations
Plugin systems
Best Practices
Minimize data transfer between JS and Wasm
Use appropriate memory allocation strategies
Consider linear memory model
Profile performance critical paths
