webidl2wit - WebIDL to wit converter

Warning

This project is a Work In Progress ("WIP")

This project converts WebIDL to WebAssembly Interface Types ("WIT"), enabling WebAssembly components to interact with interfaces (most importantly browser primitives) defined via WebIDL.

Usage

webidl2wit can be used as a library from your project:

webidl2wit = "0.1.0"

webidl2wit can also be used as a CLI, via the workspace member project webidl2wit-cli:

cargo install webidl2wit-cli
