WebAssembly Text Format

WebAssembly Text Format (WAT) is a human-readable version of WebAssembly code, designed to make it easier for developers to understand and write WebAssembly modules. WebAssembly is a low-level programming language that enables high-performance applications on web browsers and other platforms. WAT uses a structured, text-based syntax to represent instructions and functions, which can be compiled into efficient binary code that runs quickly. Think of WAT as the source code for WebAssembly, similar to how readable source code relates to executable machine code, helping developers create, analyze, and optimize WebAssembly modules.
