Wasm Constraints

WASM Build Constraints

Overview

WASM target lives in crates/xberg-wasm/, built with wasm-bindgen over sync-only internal APIs. Note that crates/xberg-wasm/src/lib.rs is Alef-generated — do not hand-edit it.

Feature Flags

# crates/xberg/Cargo.toml
wasm-target = [
    "no-ort-target",
    "excel-wasm",
    "ocr-wasm",
    "layout-tract",
    "auto-rotate-tract",
    "ner-candle-wasm",
]

RT-DETR layout detection and PP-LCNet document orientation run through the pure-Rust tract engine; weights are streamed in from JS, never fetched by Rust (hf-hub/reqwest are native-only). Deliberately no tree-sitter: the 371-language grammar pack pushes the browser .wasm past jsDelivr's 50 MB per-file cap.

Critical Constraints

1. No Tokio Runtime

All operations must be synchronous internally. Use #[cfg(not(feature = "tokio-runtime"))] paths.

2. Internal Sync Extractor Required

Every WASM-compatible built-in extractor must implement SyncExtractor (crates/xberg/src/extractors/mod.rs). It is pub(crate), so only in-crate extractors can implement it — out-of-crate plugins cannot. This is not part of the public API; public callers still use extract / extract_batch.

impl SyncExtractor for MyExtractor {
    fn extract_sync(&self, content: &[u8], mime_type: &str, config: &ExtractionConfig)
        -> Result<InternalDocument> { /* sync implementation */ }
}

There is no as_sync_extractor() method on DocumentExtractor — do not write one.

3. HTML Size Limit

// crates/xberg/src/extraction/html/stack_management.rs
pub const MAX_HTML_SIZE_BYTES: usize = 2 * 1024 * 1024;  // 2 MB — stack constraint

Build Config

# crates/xberg-wasm/Cargo.toml
[lib]
crate-type = ["cdylib"]

# root Cargo.toml
[profile.release.package.xberg-wasm]
opt-level = "z"   # codegen-units = 1 comes from the global [profile.release]

API Pattern

The generated surface exposes async wasm-bindgen functions over sync internals:

#[wasm_bindgen]
pub async fn extract(input: JsValue, config: JsValue) -> Result<WasmExtractionResult, JsValue>

Functions can be async for JS ergonomics; extraction underneath is synchronous.

Critical Rules

1. No tokio — all operations synchronous.
2. Implement SyncExtractor for every WASM-compatible in-crate extractor.
3. HTML capped at MAX_HTML_SIZE_BYTES (2 MB) due to stack constraints.
4. Size optimization via opt-level = "z" on the package profile only.
5. Gate WASM-specific code with #[cfg(target_arch = "wasm32")], and use the two-arm cfg_attr async_trait form on any plugin trait impl.
