JWebAssembly

JWebAssembly is a Java to WebAssembly Compiler. It uses Java class files as input.

Status of the project

Currently it is only a proof of concept.

Future Features

In the future there should be a Gradle plugin to easy integrate it in the build process and a Eclipse build command to see compiler errors in in the IDE.

Required Java Version

JWebAssembly requires Java SE 8 or higher. It is tested with Java SE 8 on travis-ci.org.

Usage

Exporting functions

To export a function to make it accessible from JavaScript you need add the annotation org.webassembly.annotation.Export

import org.webassembly.annotation.Export;

@Export
public static int add( int a, int b ) {
    return a + b;
}

Java Limits

In version 1 of WebAssembly you can compile only:

• static methods
• use the data types int, long float and double
