- Installing Emscripten
- Embind
- WebIDL
Install Emscripten using the instructions from the official site. After installation is complete, ensure the directories containing the Emscripten executables are correctly added to the system PATH. If the supplied scripts to modify the PATH don’t work correctly, you may have to add the directories manually. (The directories are listed in the outpu...
Embind is the more flexible of the two binding implementations supported by Emscripten, and involves fewer source files and compilation steps. The ability to use the emscripten::val type for both return values and function/method arguments facilitates the creation of Javascript-friendly interfaces that interact directly with Javascript objects usin...
WebIDL is a W3 specification for describing interfaces to be implemented by web browsers. The interfaces that can be expressed using WebIDL are slightly more restrictive than those possible using Embind, and the WebIDL Binder does not support the Embind emscripten::valclass. This means the creation of a Javascript-friendly interface requires the im...
