SYNOPSIS

A small toolkit for converting wasm binaries into json and back.

INSTALL

npm install wasm-json-toolkit

USAGE

const fs = require('fs')
const wasm2json = require('wasm-json-toolkit').wasm2json

const wasm = fs.readFileSync('./test.wasm')
const json = wasm2json(wasm)

console.log(JSON.stringify(json, null, 2))

CLI

Install -g global for cli usage.

wasm2json [FILE] given a file containing a wasm module produces a json representation
json2wasm [FILE] given a file containing a json representation produces a wasm module

API

wasm2json

converts a wasm binary into a json representation

Parameters

• Buffer - The Webassembly Binary
• filter - Set containing the name of sections to parse. If no filter is given all sections will be parsed

Returns Object

json2wasm

converts a json representation to a wasm binary

Parameters

• Object

Returns Buffer

text2json

converts text to json. The only text accepted is a simple list of opcode name and immediates

Parameters

• String

Examples

const codeStr = `
i64.const 1
i64.const 2
i64.add
`
const json = text2json(codeStr)

Returns Object

iterator

iterator.js:12-58

The Module Iterator allows for iteration over a webassembly module's sections. A section is wrapped in a section class. A section class instance allows you append entries to a given section

Examples

const it = new Iterator(wasm)
for (const section of it) {
  console.log(section.type)
  const json = section.toJSON()
}

wasm

iterator.js:26-32

if the orignal wasm module was modified then this will return the modified wasm module

iterator

iterator.js:38-52

Iterates through the module's sections return {Iterator.<Section>}

Section

iterator.js:64-110

The section class is always internal created by the Module class. And return through the Module's iternator

toJSON

iterator.js:83-85

Parses the section and return the JSON repesentation of it returns {Object}

appendEntries

iterator.js:92-109

Appends an array of entries to this section. NOTE: this will modify the parent wasm module.

Parameters

• entries Arrayy<Buffer>
