Overview
When GOOS=js
and GOARCH=wasm
, Go's compiler targets WebAssembly Binary
format (%.wasm).
Wazero's "github.com/tetratelabs/wazero/experimental/gojs" package allows you to run
a %.wasm
file compiled by Go. This is similar to what is implemented in
wasm_exec.js. See https://wazero.io/languages/go/ for more.
Example
wazero includes an example that makes HTTP client requests.
Experimental
Go defines js "EXPERIMENTAL... exempt from the Go compatibility promise."
Accordingly, wazero cannot guarantee this will work from release to release,
or that usage will be relatively free of bugs. Moreover, GOOS=wasip1
will be shipped
in Go 1.21, and once that's available in two releases wazero will remove this
package.
Due to these concerns and the relatively high implementation overhead, most will choose TinyGo instead of gojs.
