Wasm3 is a fast WebAssembly interpreter and universal WASM runtime written in C, usable as a CLI tool or embedded library with bindings for many languages. It runs on platforms from microcontrollers to desktops and servers.

Use cases

  • run webassembly modules on embedded devices
  • embed a wasm interpreter in a c application
  • sandbox untrusted code execution
  • script iot devices with webassembly
  • run wasm on the edge or in serverless environments

When to choose

  • you need a small, portable, fast wasm interpreter for embedded or resource-constrained targets
  • you want a universal runtime that builds almost anywhere with no dependencies
  • you need sandboxed execution of wasm modules

When to avoid

  • you need a high-performance JIT compiler for server-side wasm workloads
  • you need cutting-edge wasm features or active new development, since the project is in minimal maintenance mode
