wa-info
is a tool to inspect WebAssembly binary format wasm files.
It can show sections overview in the summary output, disassemble function(s) code, show information about dotnet AOT. It is available as dotnet tool.
wa-diff
is a tool to compare WebAssembly binary files
wa-edit
is a tool to modify WebAssembly binary files
To install wa-info
, wa-diff
and wa-edit
as dotnet tool run:
