About:
Wazero is a high-performance WebAssembly runtime written in pure Go with zero external dependencies. It enables running WebAssembly modules compiled from various languages like C, C++, Rust, and TinyGo in your Go applications. Its primary value is providing a secure, isolated sandbox for executing untrusted code with minimal overhead.
Key Features:
  • Zero dependency pure Go implementation
  • Compiles to a single binary with no external runtimes
  • Supports WASI (WebAssembly System Interface)
  • High performance with JIT compilation
  • Cross-platform (runs anywhere Go runs)
Use Cases:
  • Plugin systems for extending Go applications safely
  • Multi-language support in serverless functions
  • Running untrusted code in a secure sandbox
  • Edge computing workloads
Alternatives:
  • wasmer-go – Requires CGO and external dependencies, while wazero is pure Go
  • wasmtime – Rust-based runtime with CGO bindings, heavier than pure Go wazero
