Emscripten is a type of compiler termed a source-to-source compiler or transcompiler. As its input it takes LLVM bytecode, typically created by compiling from C or C++. As output it emits a file in the JavaScript programming language which can run in web browsers.[2]
Emscripten has been used to port, among other things, Unreal Engine 3, SQLite, and Bullet physics.[3]
Notable usage[edit]
Also, since 23 December 2014 the Internet Archive presents, via a Emscripten converted DOSBox emulation, browser-based thousands of archived DOS/PC games[4][5][6] for "scholarship and research purposes only".[7]
