Description

Description
`Apache ShenYu` is a Java native API Gateway for service proxy, protocol conversion and API governance.

`WASM`(WebAssembly) bytecode is designed to be encoded in a size- and load-time-efficient binary format. WebAssembly aims to leverage the common hardware features available on various platforms to execute in browsers at machine code speed.

`WASI`(WebAssembly System Interface) allows WASM to run in non browser environments such as Linux.

This plugin should base on [WasmPlugin](https://github.com/apache/shenyu/issues/4612), whcih means other languages, as long as their code can be compiled into WASM bytecode (such as Rust/golang/C++), can be used to write ShenYu plugins.

 

[kitex](https://github.com/cloudwego/kitex) is a Go RPC framework with high-performance and strong-extensibility for building micro-services.

You can find useful information [here](https://github.com/cloudwego/kitex/issues/1237).

The usage documentation for WasmPlugin is [here](https://shenyu.apache.org/docs/next/developer/custom-plugin/).
