## Usage

Add `wat` to your `Cargo.toml`

```sh
$ cargo add wat
```

And then you can parse WAT to binary WebAssembly via:

```rust
// Parse from a file ...
let binary = wat::parse_file("./foo.wat")?;

// ... or a string
let wat = r#"
    (module
        (func $foo)

        (func (export "bar")
            call $foo
        )
    )
"#;
let binary = wat::parse_str(wat)?;
```

## AST Representation

The `wat` crate does not expose an AST as its goal is to provide a
forever-stable interface against the `wast` crate. Using `wat` is suitable when
all you want to do is translate from text-to-binary, for example parsing the
input of a CLI program into the WebAssembly binary format.

If instead you're interested in working with the AST of a text file or otherwise
adding your own parsing to the text format you'll want to take a look at the
[`wast` crate](../wast/README.md).

## Stability and WebAssembly Features

Consult the [crate documentation](https://docs.rs/wat) for more information,
but the general idea is this crate will not issue a semver-breaking change for
breaking changes in the WAT format, either for MVP features or post-MVP
features. No opt-in is required to use WebAssembly features, so using them may
break if the upstream spec changes.
