Binaryen.NET

C# Bindings for the Binaryen WebAssembly toolchain.

Binaryen.NET is currently a prerelease package. If you notice missing features or have ideas for improvements, contributions are welcome!

Building

Ensure all Git submodules are up to date:

git submodule update --init --recursive
  • If you only changed C# code: The project automatically uses the pre-built native binaries from runtimes/, no manual compilation is needed.
  • If you updated Binaryen itself: Rebuild Binaryen as a shared library, then place the compiled binaries for each target runtime into the runtimes/ folder.

You can build the C# project by running:

dotnet build

from the directory containing Binaryen.NET.sln.

To build or update the native Binaryen library (libbinaryen), follow the instructions in the Binaryen repository.

Samples

Generating IR → WAT

using (var module = new BinaryenModule())
{
    // Create a simple function body with a single NOP instruction
    var body = BinaryenExpression.Nop(module);

    // Add a function with no parameters, no return type, and no locals
    module.AddFunction(
        name: "TestMethod",
        paramTypes: Array.Empty<BinaryenType>(),
        resultType: BinaryenType.None,
        localTypes: Array.Empty<BinaryenType>(),
        body: body);

    // Emit WAT
    Console.WriteLine(module.ToText());
}

Web Assembly Text (WAT) Output:

(module
 (type $0 (func))
 (func $TestMethod
  (nop)
 )
)
