Emscripten is a complete open-source compiler toolchain that transforms C, C++, and other LLVM-based source code into WebAssembly (and JavaScript), enabling native‑like applications to run in web browsers, Node.js, and other Wasm environments.

Features

  • Converts C/C++ code to WebAssembly or JavaScript for broad platform reach
  • Supports standard portable APIs like OpenGL and SDL2 for graphical apps
  • Emulates POSIX environment including libc functionality in browser
  • Ability to produce standalone Wasm binaries without JS runtime
  • Tools like emcc act as drop-in replacements for gcc/clang for ease of use
  • Enables porting complex native applications (e.g., games, Google Earth) to web environments efficiently
