pub fn encode(resolve: &Resolve, package: PackageId) -> Result<Vec<u8>>
Expand description
Encodes the given package
within resolve
to a binary WebAssembly
representation.
This function is the root of the implementation of serializing a WIT package into a WebAssembly representation. The wasm representation serves two purposes:
- One is to be a binary encoding of a WIT document which is ideally more stable than the WIT textual format itself.
- Another is to provide a clear mapping of all WIT features into the component model through use of its binary representation.
The resolve
provided is a set of packages and types and such and the
package
argument is an ID within the world provided. The documents within
package
will all be encoded into the binary returned.
The binary returned can be decode
d to recover the WIT
package provided.
