The Common WebAssembly API is a minimal specification of the standard API for non-Web WebAssembly usermode environments.
A few new types (which all lower to primitive WASM types) are introduced in types.md
.
Error handling in CWA is done by error codes, which are defined in errors.md
.
The CWA API is organized as namespaces, which each corresponds to a specific set of API functions.
CWA API functions should be accessible via the external module named cwa
.
Every namespace should contain only lower-case ASCII characters in its name, and have its definitions in ns/{namespace}.md
.
Every function should contain only lower-case ASCII characters, digits(0-9), and _
in its name, and the first character cannot be a digit.
Functions from namespaces are visible to WebAssembly modules with the name {namespace}_{function}
.
"Everything is a URL".
Defined in urls-and-schemes.md
.
If you are not sure, open an issue to discuss your idea first.
After you've finished writing the definitions & explanations of your new namespaces/functions, open a pull request and we would be happy to review :-)
