*ITK-Wasm* combines [ITK](https://www.itk.org/) and
[WebAssembly](https://webassembly.org/) to enable high-performance spatial
analysis in a web browser, Node.js, Python, and reproducible execution across
programming languages and hardware architectures.

The project provides tools to a) build C/C++ code to
[WebAssembly](https://webassembly.org/), b) bridge local filesystems,
JavaScript/TypeScript/Python data structures, and traditional file formats, c)
transfer data efficiently in and out of the WebAssembly runtime, and d)
asynchronous, parallel execution of processing pipelines in a worker pool.
*ITK-Wasm* can be used to execute [ITK](https://www.itk.org/)
or arbitrary C++ codes in the browser, on a
workstation / server with [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) or [Python](https://python.org), or standalone
execution and wrapped in [WASI](https://wasi.dev/) runtimes.

For more information, please see [the project
documentation](https://wasm.itk.org/).
