Introduction

🎯 What is wasp-lib?

🐝 W.A.S.P. stands for Web Assembly Safe Pointers

wasp-lib is a powerful TypeScript library that bridges the gap between JavaScript and WebAssembly memory management. It transforms complex, error-prone manual memory operations into simple, type-safe method calls, making WebAssembly integration as easy as working with native JavaScript objects.

The Problem

Working with WebAssembly memory directly is challenging:

• Memory Leaks: Forgetting to call _free() leads to memory leaks.
• Type Safety: No compile-time guarantees about data types.
• Boilerplate Code: Repetitive allocation/deallocation patterns.
• Error Prone: Manual pointer arithmetic and buffer management.

The Solution

wasp-lib provides intuitive wrapper classes that:

• ✅ Automatically manage memory allocation and deallocation.
• ✅ Ensure type safety with TypeScript generics.
• ✅ Eliminate boilerplate with a simple, chainable API.
• ✅ Prevent memory leaks with built-in cleanup mechanisms.
