WebAssemblymodul

WebAssembly Module is a binary format for representing code in the WebAssembly (WASM) platform. It is a compact, platform-agnostic binary format that allows code to be executed on different computing environments, including web browsers, native operating systems, and embedded systems.

A WebAssembly Module is a single binary file that contains a collection of functions, tables, and memory namespaces, as well as any data required by the code to run. It is structured as a sequence of instructions, similar to machine code, but is designed to be more compact and portable than traditional machine code.

When a WebAssembly Module is executed, the runtime environment provides the necessary resources, such as memory and libraries, to run the code. The module's instructions are executed in a sandboxed environment, which provides a safe and controlled environment for executing untrusted code.

WebAssembly Modules are typically created using a compiler, such as the WebAssembly Binary Toolkit (WABT), which translates high-level code written in languages like C, C++, and Rust into the binary format. The resulting binary file can be loaded and run on various platforms, enabling cross-platform execution and enabling the creation of fast and secure web applications.

WebAssembly Modules are supported by most modern web browsers, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Edge, as well as many native runtimes and embedded systems. They are widely used in various fields, including web development, game development, and machine learning.
