This API privides a way to access WebAssembly [[WEBASSEMBLY]] through a bridge to explicitly construct modules from JavaScript [[ECMASCRIPT]].

<h2 id="sample">Sample API Usage</h2>

<p><em>This section is non-normative.</em></p>

Given `demo.wat` (encoded to `demo.wasm`):

```lisp
(module
    (import "js" "import1" (func $i1))
    (import "js" "import2" (func $i2))
    (func $main (call $i1))
    (start $main)
    (func (export "f") (call $i2))
)
```

and the following JavaScript, run in a browser:

```javascript
var importObj = {js: {
    import1: () => console.log("hello,"),
    import2: () => console.log("world!")
}};
fetch('demo.wasm').then(response =>
    response.arrayBuffer()
).then(buffer =>
    WebAssembly.instantiate(buffer, importObj)
).then(({module, instance}) =>
    instance.exports.f()
);
```

<h2 id="webassembly-storage">Internal storage</h2>

<h3 id="store">Interaction of the WebAssembly Store with JavaScript</h3>

Note: WebAssembly semantics are defined in terms of an abstract [=store=], representing the state of the WebAssembly abstract machine. WebAssembly operations take a store and return an updated store.

Each [=agent=] has an <dfn>associated store</dfn>. When a new agent is created, its associated store is set to the result of [=init_store=]().

Note: In this specification, no WebAssembly-related objects, memory or addresses can be shared among agents in an [=agent cluster=]. In a future version of WebAssembly, this may change.

Elements of the WebAssembly store may be <dfn>identified with</dfn> JavaScript values. In particular, each WebAssembly [=memory instance=] with a corresponding {{Memory}} object is identified with a JavaScript [=Data Block=]; modifications to this Data Block are identified to updating the agent's store to a store which reflects those changes, and vice versa.

<h3 id="object-caches">WebAssembly JS Object Caches</h3>

Note: There are several WebAssembly objects that may have a corresponding JavaScript object. The correspondence is stored in a per-agent mapping from WebAssembly [=address=]es to JavaScript objects. This mapping is used to ensure that, for a given [=agent=], there exists at most one JavaScript object for a particular WebAssembly address.

Each [=agent=] is associated with the following [=ordered map=]s:
    * The <dfn>Memory object cache</dfn>, mapping [=memory address=]es to {{Memory}} objects.
    * The <dfn>Table object cache</dfn>, mapping [=table address=]es to {{Table}} objects.
    * The <dfn>Exported Function cache</dfn>, mapping [=function address=]es to [=Exported Function=] objects.
    * The <dfn>Global object cache</dfn>, mapping [=global address=]es to {{Global}} objects.

<h2 id="webassembly-namespace">The WebAssembly Namespace</h2>

<pre class="idl">
dictionary WebAssemblyInstantiatedSource {
    required Module module;
    required Instance instance;
};

[Exposed=(Window,Worker,Worklet)]
namespace WebAssembly {
    boolean validate(BufferSource bytes);
    Promise&lt;Module> compile(BufferSource bytes);

    Promise&lt;WebAssemblyInstantiatedSource> instantiate(
        BufferSource bytes, optional object importObject);

    Promise&lt;Instance> instantiate(
        Module moduleObject, optional object importObject);
};
</pre>

<!--
Should we include notes describing what the functions do, as the HTML spec does? It could look like this:

Note:
  WebAssembly.validate(|bytes|) synchronously validates bytes of WebAssembly, returning true if the validation was successful.
  WebAssembly.compile(|bytes|) asynchronously validates and complies bytes of WebAssembly into a Module.
  WebAssembly.instantiate(|bytes|, |importObject|) asynchronously compiles and instantiates a WebAssembly module from bytes of source.
  The WebAssembly.instantiate(|moduleObject|, |importObject|) asynchronously instantiates a compiled module.
-->

<div algorithm>
  To <dfn>compile a WebAssembly module</dfn> from source bytes |bytes|, perform the following steps:
    1. Let |module| be [=module_decode=](|bytes|). If |module| is [=error=], return [=error=].
    1. If [=module_validate=](|module|) is [=error=], return [=error=].
    1. Return |module|.
</div>

<div algorithm>
  The <dfn method for="WebAssembly">validate(|bytes|)</dfn> method, when invoked, performs the following steps:
    1. Let |stableBytes| be a [=get a copy of the buffer source|copy of the bytes held by the buffer=] |bytes|.
    1. [=Compile a WebAssembly module|Compile=] |stableBytes| as a WebAssembly module and store the results as |module|.
    1. If |module| is [=error=], return false.
    1. Return true.
</div>

<div>
A {{Module}} object represents a single WebAssembly module. Each {{Module}} object has the following internal slots:

    * \[[Module]] : a WebAssembly [=module=]
    * \[[Bytes]] : the source bytes of \[[Module]].
</div>

<div algorithm>
  To <dfn>construct a WebAssembly module object</dfn> from a module |module| and source bytes |bytes|, perform the following steps:

        1. [=compile a WebAssembly module|Compile the WebAssembly module=] |bytes| and store the result as |module|.
        1. [=Queue a task=] to perform the following steps. If |taskSource| was provided, queue the task on that task source.
            1. If |module| is [=error=], reject |promise| with a {{CompileError}} exception.
            1. Otherwise,
                1. [=Construct a WebAssembly module object=] from |module| and |bytes|, and let |moduleObject| be the result.
                1. [=Resolve=] |promise| with |moduleObject|.
    1. Return |promise|.
</div>

<div algorithm>
    The <dfn method for="WebAssembly">compile(|bytes|)</dfn> method, when invoked, performs the following steps:
    1. Let |stableBytes| be a [=get a copy of the buffer source|copy of the bytes held by the buffer=] |bytes|.
    1. [=Asynchronously compile a WebAssembly module=] from |stableBytes| and return the result.

<h3 id="error-objects">Error Objects</h3>

WebAssembly defines the following Error classes: {{CompileError}}, {{LinkError}}, and {{RuntimeError}}. WebAssembly errors have the following custom bindings:
- Unlike normal interface types, the interface prototype object for these exception classes must have as its \[[Prototype]] the intrinsic object [=%ErrorPrototype%=].
- The constructor and properties of WebAssembly errors is as specified for {{NativeError}}.
- If an implementation gives native Error objects special powers or nonstandard properties (such as a stack property), it should also expose those on these exception instances.

<pre class='idl'>
[LegacyNamespace=WebAssembly]
interface CompileError { };

[LegacyNamespace=WebAssembly]
interface LinkError { };

[LegacyNamespace=WebAssembly]
interface RuntimeError { };
</pre>

<h2 id="errors">Error Condition Mappings to JavaScript</h2>

Running WebAssembly programs encounter certain events which halt execution of the WebAssembly code.
WebAssembly code (currently)
has no way to catch these conditions and thus an exception will necessarily
propagate to the enclosing non-WebAssembly caller (whether it is a browser,
JavaScript or another runtime system) where it is handled like a normal JavaScript exception.

If WebAssembly calls JavaScript via import and the JavaScript throws an
exception, the exception is propagated through the WebAssembly activation to the
enclosing caller.

Because JavaScript exceptions can be handled, and JavaScript can continue to
call WebAssembly exports after a trap has been handled, traps do not, in
general, prevent future execution.

<h3 id="stack-overflow">Stack Overflow</h3>

Whenever a stack overflow occurs in
WebAssembly code, the same class of exception is thrown as for a stack overflow in
JavaScript. The particular exception here is implementation-defined in both cases.

Note: ECMAScript doesn't specify any sort of behavior on stack overflow; implementations have been observed to throw {{RangeError}}, InternalError or Error. Any is valid here.

<h3 id="out-of-memory">Out of Memory</h3>

Whenever validation, compilation or instantiation run out of memory, the
same class of exception is thrown as for out of memory conditions in JavaScript.
The particular exception here is implementation-defined in both cases.

Note: ECMAScript doesn't specify any sort of behavior on out-of-memory conditions; implementations have been observed to throw OOMError and to crash. Either is valid here.

<div class="issue">
    A failed allocation of a large table or memory may either result in
        - a {{RangeError}}, as specified in the {{Memory}} {{Memory/grow()}} and {{Table}} {{Table/grow()}} operations
        - returning -1 as the [=memory.grow=] instruction
        - UA-specific OOM behavior as described in this section.
    In a future revision, we may reconsider more reliable and recoverable errors for allocations of large amounts of memory.

    See [Issue 879](https://github.com/WebAssembly/spec/issues/879) for further discussion.

<h2 id="limits">Implementation-defined Limits</h2>

The WebAssembly core specification allows an implementation to define limits on the syntactic structure of the module.
While each embedding of WebAssembly may choose to define its own limits, for predictability the standard WebAssembly JavaScript Interface described in this document defines the following exact limits.
An implementation must reject a module that exceeds these limits with a {{CompileError}}.
In practice, an implementation may run out of resources for valid modules below these limits.

<ul>
<li>The maximum size of a module is 1073741824 bytes (1 GiB).</li>
<li>The maximum number of types defined in the types section is 1000000.</li>
<li>The maximum number of functions defined in a module is 1000000.</li>
<li>The maximum number of imports declared in a module is 100000.</li>
<li>The maximum number of exports declared in a module is 100000.</li>
<li>The maximum number of globals defined in a module is 1000000.</li>
<li>The maximum number of data segments defined in a module is 100000.</li>

<li>The maximum number of tables, including declared or imported tables, is 1.</li>
<li>The maximum size of a table is 10000000.</li>
<li>The maximum number of table entries in any table initialization is 10000000.</li>
<li>The maximum number of memories, including declared or imported memories, is 1.</li>
<li>The initial or maximum number of pages for any memory, declared or imported, is at most 32767.</li>

<li>The maximum number of parameters to any function is 1000.</li>
<li>The maximum number of return values for any function is 1.</li>
<li>The maximum size of a function body, including locals declarations, is 7654321 bytes.</li>
<li>The maximum number of locals declared in a function, including implicitly declared as parameters, is 50000.</li>

</ul>
