WebAssembly Text Format (WAT)

WebAssembly Text Format (WAT) is a human-readable way to write WebAssembly code, which is a fast, efficient binary format used to run programs in web browsers and other environments. WAT allows developers to program WebAssembly using clear, understandable text commands before converting it into the compressed binary form that machines execute efficiently. It serves as a readable intermediate language that helps with writing, debugging, and understanding WebAssembly modules, making low-level code more accessible without sacrificing performance or precision.
