cargo-wasi VS lol_alloc

Compare cargo-wasi vs lol_alloc and see what are their differences.

cargo-wasi

A lightweight Cargo subcommand to build Rust code for the `wasm32-wasi` target (by bytecodealliance)

lol_alloc

Like wee_alloc, but smaller since I used skinnier letters in the name. (by Craig-Macomber)

    There are many options, but what worked best for me is compiling with cargo-wasi and loading the resulting Wasm file with browser_wasi_shim. Using wasm32-wasi instead of wasm32-unknown-unknown requires a bit more work (the communication with JS has to be set up manually), but gives the flexibility of having just a Wasm file that can be dropped in and loaded dynamically. (There's wit-bindgen for generating wrapping code according to an interface definition but I didn't have much success with it.)

    As a note, you might find some references to use wee_alloc, but it has been unmaintained for some time and shouldn't be used. I'm using the default allocator with the wasm32-wasi target and it works fine, but I don't know if that works with wasm32-unknown-unknown too; if not there's lol_alloc.
