wasmtime
A standalone, fast, and secure WebAssembly runtime that is standards-compliant and supports WASI.
What is wasmtime?
Wasmtime is a standalone runtime for WebAssembly designed to be embedded into applications or used as a command-line tool. It enables developers to run WebAssembly code efficiently and securely across various platforms and programming languages, solving the need for a reliable, high-performance WebAssembly execution environment outside of web browsers.
Developers building applications that need to safely and efficiently execute WebAssembly modules, including those embedding WebAssembly in server-side applications, CLI tools, or multi-language systems. It is also suitable for researchers and developers working with WebAssembly standards and proposals.
Developers choose Wasmtime for its strong emphasis on security, performance, and standards compliance, backed by Rust's safety guarantees and continuous fuzzing. Its configurability and support for multiple languages through embeddings make it versatile for diverse environments, from embedded systems to large-scale servers.
