# 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/).
