Abstract

Spletne aplikacije na strani odjemalca zaradi narave jezika JavaScript predvsem pri izvedbi zahtevnejših operacij zaostajajo za klasičnimi aplikacijami. Kot odgovor na pomankanje zmogljivosti in omejitev na jezik JavaScript je nastal standard oziroma programsko okolje WebAssembly, katerega uporabo pri razvoju spletnih aplikacij smo raziskali v tem delu. Predstavili smo lastnosti ter kreiranje modulov s prevajanjem programskih jezikov in z uporabo WebAssembly tekstovnega formata. Preučili smo varnost ter prednosti in slabosti uporabe, z eksperimentom pa smo primerjali hitrosti izvajanja WebAssembly modulov in programskega jezika JavaScript. Ugotovili smo, da obstajajo nekatere ranljivosti in možnosti zlorab, uporaba WebAssembly modulov pa je v splošnem varna in pohitri izvedbo operacij, vendar ni vedno smiselna.

Secondary title:	Use of the WebAssembly programming environment for developing web applications
Secondary abstract:	Client-side web applications are due to the nature of the JavaScript programming language less effective than similar native applications, notably so when executing computationally heavy operations. WebAssembly standard was proposed to address the issues with performance and limitation to JavaScript. We examined the advantages and drawbacks of using WebAssembly for development of the client-side web applications and presented two methods of creating WebAssembly modules. Despite several security issues and use by malware, we concluded that using WebAssembly could be considered safe in most cases. Differences in performance between JavaScript and WebAssembly were identified with experiment, showing that despite the increased performance when using WebAssembly, doing so is perhaps not always suitable.
