This is the wiki for the Emscripten LLVM to JavaScript compiler. This wiki is for documentation about Emscripten that is:
- Under construction or for features that have not been fully developed
- informal and unofficial documentation about the product
- Time sensitive and requires update faster than can get into the main documentation set.
About
Emscripten is a project that turns LLVM bitcode into Javascript code. Typically, code written in C/C++ is compiled with clang to produce LLVM bitcode, which Emscripten then turns into Javascript code. Even if it is not C/C++, any code can be converted to Javascript as long as it can be compiled to LLVM bitcode.
