A low-ish level tool for easily writing WASM based plugins to be hosted by wasm_plugin_host.

The goal of wasm_plugin is to make communicating across the host-plugin boundary as simple and idiomatic as possible while being unopinionated about how you actually use the plugin.

Plugins are meant to be run using wasm_plugin_host

Exporting a function is just a matter of adding an attribute.

#[wasm_plugin_guest::export_function]
fn hello() -> String {
    "Hello, host!".to_string()
}

API Stability

I am not currently guaranteeing any stability, expect all releases to include breaking changes.

This crate currently supports serialization either using bincode or json selected by feature: serialize_bincode: Uses serde and bincode. It is selected by default. serialize_json: Uses serde and serde_json. `serialize_nanoserde_json': Uses nanoserde.

Bincode is likely the best choice if all plugins the system uses will be written in Rust. Json is useful if a mix or languages will be used.
