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.

  1. wapm-cli

    Discontinued 📦 WebAssembly Package Manager (CLI)

    There's WAPM

  3. simd

    Discontinued Branch of the spec repo scoped to discussion of SIMD in WebAssembly

    According to the WebAssembly Roadmap, the 128-bit packed SIMD Extension proposal has been accepted and is already implemented in every major runtime except Safari, and the Relaxed SIMD proposal is planned, with Firefox already having an experimental implementation in nightly-channel builds.

  4. relaxed-simd

    Relax the strict determinism requirements of SIMD operations.

  5. rust-memchr

    Optimized string search routines for Rust.

    How can that be true while things like this PR exist? Was that PR adding fake SIMD or something?

  6. extism

    The framework for building with WebAssembly (wasm). Easily load wasm modules, move data, call functions, and build extensible apps.

    I’d love to see what you think about https://github.com/extism/extism

  7. wasm-pack

    📦✨ your favorite rust -> wasm workflow tool!

    Is the Rust WASM ecosystem being half dead better? wasm-pack and wasm-bindgen are barely maintained anymore, and trust me it's not because everything works flawlessly…

  8. wasm-bindgen

    Facilitating high-level interactions between Wasm modules and JavaScript

  10. lucet

    Discontinued Lucet, the Sandboxing WebAssembly Compiler.

    The bytecode alliance had the lucet project which would be an OS executing WASM application, enabling very strict sandboxing.

  11. bytecodealliance.org

    thanks: https://github.com/bytecodealliance/bytecodealliance.org/pull/43
