WebAssembly, or Wasm, is a binary instruction format that runs in web browsers at near-native speed. It lets code written in languages such as C, C++ and Rust be compiled to run in the browser, and it became a W3C Recommendation in 2019.

It works alongside JavaScript and runs inside the browser's security sandbox. It is used for compute-heavy tasks in the browser, including as a foundation for libraries that run AI models in the browser without a server.
