WebAssembly.validate()
The WebAssembly.validate()
function validates a given typed array of WebAssembly binary
code, returning whether the bytes form a valid Wasm module (true
) or not
(false
).
Syntax
js
WebAssembly.validate(bufferSource)
Parameters
bufferSource
-
A typed array or ArrayBuffer containing WebAssembly binary code to be validated.
Return value
A boolean that specifies whether bufferSource
is valid Wasm code
(true
) or not (false
).
Exceptions
If bufferSource
is not a typed array or ArrayBuffer,
a TypeError
is thrown.
Examples
Using validate
The following example (see the validate.html source code,
and see it live too)
fetches a Wasm module and converts it into a typed array.
The validate()
method is then used to check whether the module is valid.
js
fetch("simple.wasm")
.then((response) => response.arrayBuffer())
.then((bytes) => {
const valid = WebAssembly.validate(bytes);
console.log(
`The given bytes are ${valid ? "" : "not "}a valid Wasm module`
);
});
