About:
Emscripten is an advanced LLVM-to-WebAssembly compiler toolchain. It enables running C and C++ code directly in web browsers and Node.js environments by compiling native code into highly optimized WebAssembly. This allows developers to port existing desktop applications, game engines, and performance-critical libraries to the web without rewriting them in JavaScript.
|
Key Features:
- Compiles C/C++ to WebAssembly and JavaScript
- Full LLVM backend integration for optimization
- Emulates standard libraries like libc and libc++
- Integrates with WebGL and Web APIs
- Supports WebAssembly threads and SIMD
|
Use Cases:
- Porting native game engines to the web
- Running performance-critical libraries in browsers
- Converting desktop applications to web apps
- Web-based scientific computing and simulations
|
Alternatives:
-
WebAssembly Studio
– Cloud-based IDE vs local compiler toolchain
-
CheerpX
– Proprietary x86-to-Wasm translator vs open-source LLVM compiler
