lol_alloc

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

Nutrient – The #1 PDF SDK Library, trusted by 10K+ developers
Other PDF SDKs promise a lot - then break. Laggy scrolling, poor mobile UX, tons of bugs, and lack of support cost you endless frustrations. Nutrient’s SDK handles billion-page workloads - so you don’t have to debug PDFs. Used by ~1 billion end users in more than 150 different countries.

    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.

What are some alternatives?

When comparing cargo-wasi and lol_alloc you can also consider the following projects:

compiler-builtins - Porting `compiler-rt` intrinsics to Rust

browser_wasi_shim - A WASI shim for in the browser

wee_alloc - The Wasm-Enabled, Elfin Allocator

wasm-pack - 📦✨ your favorite rust -> wasm workflow tool!

wasi-rs - Experimental WASI API bindings for Rust
