WebAssembly Tool Conventions

============================

This repository holds documents describing *conventions* useful for coordinating

interoperability between wasm-related tools. This includes descriptions of

intermediate file formats, conventions for mapping high-level language types,

names, and abstraction features to WebAssembly types, identifiers, and

implementations, and schemes for supporting debuggers or other tools.

These conventions are not part of the WebAssembly standard, and are not required

of WebAssembly-consuming implementations to execute WebAssembly code. Tools

producing and working with WebAssembly in other ways also need not follow any of

these conventions. They exist only to support tools that wish to interoperate

with other tools at a higher abstraction level than just WebAssembly itself.

These conventions are also not exclusive. There could be multiple conventions

for a given language for a given purpose. There are natural benefits to

interoperability, but there are many reasons where having more than one way to

do things can also make sense in many circumstances.
