# Examples of the `wasmtime` API This directory contains a number of examples of using the `wasmtime` API from different languages. Most examples are available in Rust, C, and C++, using the `wasmtime` crate or the [C/C++ embedding API](https://docs.wasmtime.dev/c-api/). Examples are accompanied by a `*.wat` file which is the wasm input, or a Rust project in a `wasm` folder which is the source code for the original wasm file. Rust examples can be executed with `cargo run --example $name`. C and C++ examples can be built with `mkdir build && cd build && cmake $name`, where for C `$name` is the basename of the example, and for C++ it is `[basename]-cpp`. You can run `cmake --build .` to build all examples or `cmake --build . --target wasmtime-$name`, replacing the name as you wish. They can also be [built manually](https://docs.wasmtime.dev/c-api/). For more information see the examples themselves!
