+### WebAssembly (experimental)
+
+Neovim can be cross-compiled to WebAssembly using the `wasm32-emscripten` target.
+
+- Requires the [Emscripten SDK](https://emscripten.org/docs/getting_started/downloads.html) (`emsdk`).
+- After installing and activating it, pass its sysroot to `-Demscripten-sysroot`, e.g. `$EMSDK/upstream/emscripten/cache/sysroot`.
+
+To build the WebAssembly target:
+
+```bash
+zig build nvim_bin \
+  -Dtarget=wasm32-emscripten \
+  -Demscripten-sysroot=$EMSDK/upstream/emscripten/cache/sysroot
+```
+
+This currently produces:
+
+- `nvim.wasm`, the WebAssembly module.
+- `nvim.js`, the JavaScript loader generated by Emscripten.
