Loading & Running WASM in JavaScript
Learn how to load your compiled WASM module in a web browser using JavaScript and invoke its exported functions.
Getting WASM into the Browser
Welcome! You've learned how to compile C/C++ code into a .wasm file. Now, it's time to bring that powerful WebAssembly module to life in your web browser.
This lesson will guide you through loading your .wasm module using JavaScript and invoking its functions.
Browser's WASM Gateway
Modern web browsers provide a global WebAssembly object. This object is your primary interface for interacting with WebAssembly modules.
- It allows you to compile, instantiate, and manage WASM code.
- We'll use its methods to fetch and load our
.wasmfile into the browser's runtime.
