watson

a hyper minimalistic no_std + alloc WebAssembly parser/compiler for Rust based off the official specification

• supports all section types
• helper functions for finding things
• support for compilation to wasm
• pass core WebAssembly spec tests
• interpreter

Parse a WebAssembly module

use  watson::*;

let program = watons::parse(&bytes_of_wasm)?;
for s in program.sections.iter() {
   match s {
      CodeSection(code)=> ...,
      ...
   }
}

Write an interpreter

this is in progress
