//! Wasmer-runtime is a library that makes embedding WebAssembly
//! in your application easy, efficient, and safe.
//!
//! # How to use Wasmer-Runtime
//!
//! The easiest way is to use the [`instantiate`] function to create an [`Instance`].
//! Then you can use [`call`] or [`func`] and then [`call`][func.call] to call an exported function safely.
//!
//! [`instantiate`]: fn.instantiate.html
//! [`Instance`]: struct.Instance.html
//! [`call`]: struct.Instance.html#method.call
//! [`func`]: struct.Instance.html#method.func
//! [func.call]: struct.Function.html#method.call
//!
//! ## Here's an example:
//!
//! Given this WebAssembly:
//!
//! ```wat
//! (module
//! (type $t0 (func (param i32) (result i32)))
//! (func $add_one (export "add_one") (type $t0) (param $p0 i32) (result i32)
//! get_local $p0
//! i32.const 1
//! i32.add))
//! ```
//!
//! compiled into wasm bytecode, we can call the exported "add_one" function:
//!
//! ```
//! static WASM: &'static [u8] = &[
//! // The module above compiled to bytecode goes here.
//! // ...
//! # 0x00, 0x61, 0x73, 0x6d, 0x01, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x01, 0x06, 0x01, 0x60,
//! # 0x01, 0x7f, 0x01, 0x7f, 0x03, 0x02, 0x01, 0x00, 0x07, 0x0b, 0x01, 0x07,
//! # 0x61, 0x64, 0x64, 0x5f, 0x6f, 0x6e, 0x65, 0x00, 0x00, 0x0a, 0x09, 0x01,
//! # 0x07, 0x00, 0x20, 0x00, 0x41, 0x01, 0x6a, 0x0b, 0x00, 0x1a, 0x04, 0x6e,
//! # 0x61, 0x6d, 0x65, 0x01, 0x0a, 0x01, 0x00, 0x07, 0x61, 0x64, 0x64, 0x5f,
//! # 0x6f, 0x6e, 0x65, 0x02, 0x07, 0x01, 0x00, 0x01, 0x00, 0x02, 0x70, 0x30,
//! ];
//!
//! use wasmer_runtime::{
//! instantiate,
//! Value,
//! imports,
//! error,
//! };
//!
//! fn main() -> error::Result<()> {
//! // We're not importing anything, so make an empty import object.
//! let import_object = imports! {};
//!
//! let mut instance = instantiate(WASM, import_object)?;
//!
//! let values = instance
//! .func("add_one")?
//! .call(&[Value::I32(42)])?;
//!
//! assert_eq!(values[0], Value::I32(43));
//!
//! Ok(())
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! # Additional Notes:
//!
//! The `wasmer-runtime` is build to support compiler multiple backends.
//! Currently, we support the [Cranelift] compiler with the [`wasmer-clif-backend`] crate.
//!
//! You can specify the compiler you wish to use with the [`compile_with`] function.
//!

//! [`wasmer-clif-backend`]: https://crates.io/crates/wasmer-clif-backend
//! [`compile_with`]: fn.compile_with.html
