WebAssembly Module Conventions
Here are some lightweight conventions that WebAssembly modules can use as an interface to integrate with the ecosystem. Where possible, they make use of existing standards like UTF-8, MIME, HTML, HTTP.
Strings
String are nul-terminated UTF-8.
An example of a constant data string in WebAssembly text format:
(data $html_doctype "<!doctype html>\00")HTML Component (chunked)
(data (i32.const 0x1024) "text/html\00")
(func (export "media_type") (result i32)
(i32.const 0x1024)
)
(func (export "next_body_chunk") (result i32)
…
)Must export a function called media_type which returns an i32 offset to "text/html" in main memory as a nul-terminated UTF-8 string.
Must export a function called next_body_chunk, which returns either an i32 offset to a nul-terminated UTF-8 string in main memory, or 0 when it’s done. This function will be called multiple times, allowing HTML content to be streamed out.
