+# Wasm Interface
+
+This is an experimental crate for validating the imports and exports of a WebAssembly module.
+
+For the time being, Wasm Interface provides:
+
+- a convenient text format for specifying the requirements of Wasm modules
+- a convenient way to compose interfaces safely (it ensures no conflicts (duplicates are allowed but they must agree))
+- validation that the modules meet the requirements
+
+## Syntax example
+
+Here's the interface for the current version of [WASI](https://github.com/WebAssembly/WASI):
+
+```lisp
+(interface "wasi_unstable"
+  ;; Here's a bunch of function imports!
+  (func (import "wasi_unstable" "args_get") (param i32 i32) (result i32))
+  (func (import "wasi_unstable" "args_sizes_get") (param i32 i32) (result i32))
+  (func (import "wasi_unstable" "clock_res_get") (param i32 i32) (result i32))
+  (func (import "wasi_unstable" "clock_time_get") (param i32 i32 i32) (result i32))

+)
+```
+
+
+Notes:
+- multiple `assert-import` and `assert-export` declarations are allowed.
+- comments (starts with `;` and ends with a newline) and whitespace are valid between any tokens
+
+## Semantics
+
+All imports used by the module must be specified in the interface.
+
+All exports in the interface must be exported by the module.
+
+Thus the module may have additional exports than the interface or fewer imports than the interface specifies and be considered valid.
+
+
+## Misc
+
+Wasm Interface serves a slightly different purpose than the proposed WebIDL for Wasm standard, but may be replaced by it in the future if things change.
+
+Due to an issue with nested closures in Rust, `wasm-interface` can't both compile on stable and have good error reporting. This is being fixed and `wasm-interface` will be updated to have better error handling.
+
+See the `parser.rs` file for a comment containing the grammar in a BNF style.
+
+Suggestions, contributions, and thoughts welcome! This is an experiment in the early stages, but we hope to work with the wider community and develop this in cooperation with all interested parties.

+//! Parsers to get a wasm interface from text

+//! The grammar of the text format is:
+//! interface = "(" interface name? interface-entry* ")"
+//! interface-entry = func | global
+//!
+//! func = import-fn | export-fn
+//! global = import-global | export-global

+//! param-list = "(" param type* ")"
+//! result-list = "(" result type* ")"
+//! type-decl = "(" "type" type ")"
+//! namespace = "\"" identifier "\""
+//! name = "\"" identifier "\""
+//! identifier = any character that's not a whitespace character or an open or close parenthesis
+//! type = "i32" | "i64" | "f32" | "f64"
+//!
+//! + means 1 or more
+//! * means 0 or more
+//! ? means 0 or 1
+//! | means "or"
+//! "\"" means one `"` character
+//!
+//! comments start with a `;` character and go until a newline `\n` character is reached
+//! comments and whitespace are valid between any tokens
