About:
Binaryen is a compiler infrastructure and toolchain library for WebAssembly. It provides tools for optimizing and analyzing WebAssembly modules, serving as the optimizer backend for Emscripten. Its main value proposition is improving performance and reducing code size for WebAssembly applications.
Key Features:
  • Provides a comprehensive optimizer for WebAssembly (wasm) files
  • Serves as the core optimizer for the Emscripten toolchain
  • Includes a standalone toolchain for compiling WebAssembly
  • Implements advanced optimization passes to reduce code size
Use Cases:
  • Optimizing WebAssembly binaries for web deployment
  • Reducing the size of WebAssembly modules for faster load times
  • Integrating WebAssembly optimization into custom build pipelines
Alternatives:
  • wasm-opt – Binaryen includes wasm-opt, but the broader ecosystem includes LLVM-based wasm optimizers which are often more complex.
