## Rust WebAssembly format serializing/deserializing

```rust

extern crate parity_wasm;

let module = parity_wasm::deserialize_file("./res/cases/v1/hello.wasm").unwrap();
assert!(module.code_section().is_some());

let code_section = module.code_section().unwrap(); // Part of the module with functions code

println!("Function count in wasm file: {}", code_section.bodies().len());
```

## Wabt Test suite

`parity-wasm` supports full wabt testsuite (https://github.com/WebAssembly/testsuite), running asserts that invloves deserialization.

To run testsuite:
- make sure you have all prerequisites to build `wabt` (since parity-wasm builds it internally using `wabt-rs`, see https://github.com/WebAssembly/wabt)
- checkout with submodules (`git submodule update --init --recursive`)
- run `cargo test --release --manifest-path=spec/Cargo.toml`

Decoder can be fuzzed with `cargo-fuzz` using `wasm-opt` (https://github.com/WebAssembly/binaryen):

- make sure you have all prerequisites to build `binaryen` and `cargo-fuzz` (`cmake` and a C++11 toolchain)
- checkout with submodules (`git submodule update --init --recursive`)
- install `cargo fuzz` subcommand with `cargo install cargo-fuzz`
- set rustup to use a nightly toolchain, because `cargo fuzz` uses a rust compiler plugin: `rustup override set nightly`
- run `cargo fuzz run deserialize`
