WebAssembly ( Wasm ) përcakton një format portativ të kodit binar dhe një format teksti përkatës për programet e ekzekutueshme[2] si dhe ndërfaqet e softuerit për lehtësimin e komunikimit midis programeve të tilla dhe mjedisit të tyre pritës. [3][4][5][6]
Qëllimi kryesor i WebAssembly është të lehtësojë aplikacionet me performancë të lartë në faqet e internetit, por është krijuar gjithashtu që të jetë i përdorshëm në mjedise jo-web. [7] Është një standard i hapur [8][9] që synon të mbështesë çdo gjuhë në çdo sistem operativ, [10] dhe në praktikë shumë nga gjuhët më të njohura tashmë kanë të paktën një nivel mbështetjeje.

WebAssembly code can be considered a structured stack machine; a machine where most computations use a stack of values, but control flow is expressed in structured constructs such as blocks, ifs, and loops. In practice, implementations need not maintain an actual value stack, nor actual data structures for control; they need only behave as if they did so.

Its main goal is to enable high performance applications on the Web, but it does not make any Web-specific assumptions or provide Web-specific features, so it can be employed in other environments as well.{{cite web}}: Mungon ose është bosh parametri |language= (Ndihmë!)

While the Web is the primary motivation for WebAssembly, nothing in its design depends on the Web or a JavaScript environment. It is an open standard specifically designed for embedding in multiple contexts, and we expect that stand-alone implementations will become available in the future.{{cite journal}}: Mungon ose është bosh parametri |language= (Ndihmë!)
