WebAssembly Micro Runtime (WAMR) is a lightweight standalone WebAssembly (Wasm) runtime with small footprint, high performance and highly configurable features for applications cross from embedded, IoT, edge to Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), smart contract, cloud native and so on. It includes a few parts as below:
- [**VMcore**](./core/iwasm/): A set of runtime libraries for loading and running Wasm modules. It supports several execution modes including interpreter, Ahead-of-Time compilation(AoT) and Just-in-Time compilation (JIT). The WAMR supports two JIT tiers - Fast JIT, LLVM JIT, and dynamic tier-up from Fast JIT to LLVM JIT.
- [**iwasm**](./product-mini/): The executable binary built with WAMR VMcore supports WASI and command line interface.
- [**wamrc**](./wamr-compiler/): The AOT compiler to compile Wasm file into AOT file
- Useful components and tools for building real solutions with WAMR vmcore:
  - [App-framework](./core/app-framework/README.md): A framework for supporting APIs for the Wasm applications
  - [App-manager](./core/app-mgr/README.md): a framework for dynamical loading the Wasm module remotely
  - [WAMR-IDE](./test-tools/wamr-ide): An experimental VSCode extension for developping WebAssembly applications with C/C++


### Key features
- Full compliant to the W3C Wasm MVP
- Small runtime binary size (~85K for interpreter and ~50K for AOT) and low memory usage
- Near to native speed by AOT and JIT
- Self-implemented AOT module loader to enable AOT working on Linux, Windows, MacOS, Android, SGX and MCU systems
- Choices of Wasm application libc support: the built-in libc subset for the embedded environment or [WASI](https://github.com/WebAssembly/WASI) for the standard libc
