WebAssembly Deployment
Deploy VectorAlpha's quantitative finance libraries to web browsers using WebAssembly. Achieve near-native performance for technical analysis, backtesting, and real-time calculations directly in client applications.
WebAssembly 3.0 Ready
VectorAlpha fully supports WebAssembly 3.0 features including direct DOM access, garbage collection, and exception handling. Our benchmarks show Rust WASM outperforming JavaScript by 15-20x for complex financial calculations.
Getting Started
Prerequisites
# Install Rust with wasm32 target
rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown
# Install wasm-pack for building and packaging
curl https://rustwasm.github.io/wasm-pack/installer/init.sh -sSf | sh
# Install wasm-bindgen CLI (optional, for advanced usage)
cargo install wasm-bindgen-cliBuilding Your First WASM Module
Create a new library project or add WebAssembly support to VectorAlpha:

Building and Packaging
Using wasm-pack
# Build for bundlers (webpack, rollup, etc.)
wasm-pack build --target bundler --out-dir pkg
# Build for Node.js
wasm-pack build --target nodejs --out-dir pkg-node
# Build for web (no bundler required)
wasm-pack build --target web --out-dir pkg-web
# Build with specific features
wasm-pack build --features "simd" -- --features "parallel"Optimizing Module Size
WebAssembly modules can be large. Use these techniques to minimize size:

|---|---|---|
| Default build | 384 KB | 112 KB |
| Size optimized | 156 KB | 48 KB |
| With wee_alloc | 142 KB | 43 KB |
