Wasmtime Bytecode Alliance
winget install --id=BytecodeAlliance.Wasmtime.Portable -e Wasmtime is a Bytecode Alliance project that is a standalone wasm-only optimizing runtime for WebAssembly and WASI. It runs WebAssembly code outside of the Web, and can be used both as a command-line utility or as a library embedded in a larger application.
Wasmtime is a standalone optimizing runtime for WebAssembly (WASI) designed to execute WebAssembly code efficiently and securely outside of web browsers. Built as part of the Bytecode Alliance, Wasmtime provides a fast, reliable environment for running WebAssembly modules, whether as a command-line utility or embedded within larger applications.
Key Features:
- High Performance: Leverages the Cranelift compiler for optimized machine code generation, ensuring rapid instantiation and low-overhead execution.
- Security-Focused: Implements robust security measures, including fuzz testing and formal verification, to protect against vulnerabilities.
- WASI Support: Offers comprehensive support for WASI APIs, enabling seamless interaction with host environments.
- Configurable: Provides flexible configuration options to optimize resource usage in various deployment scenarios.
- Standards Compliant: Adheres to WebAssembly standards and passes official test suites, ensuring compatibility and reliability.
Audience & Benefit: Ideal for developers building high-performance, secure applications requiring WebAssembly runtime capabilities. Wasmtime enables efficient execution of WebAssembly code in diverse environments, from constrained systems to large-scale deployments, delivering a reliable and scalable solution.
Wasmtime can be installed via winget on Windows, making it easily accessible across supported platforms.
