Show HN: Webassembly4J Run WebAssembly from Java I’ve released WebAssembly4J, along with two runtime bindings: Wasmtime4J – Java bindings for Wasmtime https://bit.ly/471hULh WAMR4J – Java bindings for WebAssembly Micro Runtime https://bit.ly/4blCCGY WebAssembly4J – a unified Java API that allows running WebAssembly across different engines https://bit.ly/40CvoJI The motivation was that Java currently has multiple emerging WebAssembly runtimes, but each exposes its own API. If you want to experiment with different engines, you have to rewrite the integration layer each time. WebAssembly4J provides a single API while allowing different runtime providers underneath. Goals of the project: Run WebAssembly from Java applications Allow cross-engine comparison of runtimes Make WebAssembly runtimes more accessible to Java developers Provide a stable interface while runtimes evolve Currently supported engines: Wasmtime WAMR Chicory GraalWasm To support both legacy and modern Java environments the project targets: Java 8 (JNI bindings) Java 11 Java 22+ (Panama support) Artifacts are published to Maven Central so they can be added directly to existing projects. I’d be very interested in feedback from people working on Java + WebAssembly integrations or runtime implementations. March 16, 2026 at 12:08AM
