WasmEdge-Quickjs is a high-performance, secure, extensible, and OCI-compliant JavaScript runtime designed to run JavaScript in WebAssembly using WasmEdge.
Key Features
- Provides a standard JavaScript runtime within WebAssembly.
- Optimized for Linux x86_64 with pre-AOT-compiled binaries, but can be AOT compiled for other OS and CPU architectures.
- Includes Node API extensions for enhanced compatibility and functionality.
Use Cases
Ideal for developers who need to run JavaScript securely within a WebAssembly environment (WasmEdge), enabling cross-platform execution.
Getting Started
To get started, clone the repository, build the project using Cargo targeting `wasm32-wasi`, and execute your JavaScript files with the WasmEdge runtime.Recent Updates
The latest release (v0.6.1-alpha) provides pre-AOT-compiled binaries optimized for Linux x86_64 and node API extensions.
Interesting Facts
WebAssembly bytecode files provided in the release can be AOT compiled with `wasmedgec` on a target platform to optimize them for a different OS/CPU.
