Wasmi is an efficient and lightweight WebAssembly interpreter with a focus on constrained and embedded systems.
Version 0.31.0
has been audited by SRLabs.
The following list states some of the distinct features of Wasmi.
- Simple, correct and deterministic execution of WebAssembly.
- Low-overhead and cross-platform WebAssembly runtime for embedded environments.
- JIT bomb resisting translation.
- Loosely mirrors the Wasmtime API.
- 100% WebAssembly spec testsuite compliance.
- Built-in support for fuel metering.
- Supports the official Wasm C-API.
Refer to the Wasmi usage guide to learn how properly to use Wasmi.
The new Wasmi engine supports a variety of WebAssembly proposals and will support even more of them in the future.

Clone the Wasmi repository and build using cargo
:
git clone https://github.com/wasmi-labs/wasmi.git --recursive
cd wasmi
cargo build
cargo test
In order to benchmark Wasmi use the following command:
cargo bench
Use translate
, instantiate
, execute
or overhead
filters to only run benchmarks that test performance of Wasm translation, instantiation, execution or miscellaneous overhead respectively, e.g. cargo bench execute
.
Wasmi supports a wide variety of architectures and platforms.
- Fore more details see this list of supported platforms for Rust.
- Note: Wasmi can be used in
no_std
embedded environments, thus not requiring the standard library (std
). - Only some platforms are checked in CI and guaranteed to be fully working by the Wasmi maintainers.
