Bringing a Mobile Cpp Codebase to the Web - Li Feng - CppCon 2022
https://github.com/CppCon/CppCon2022

Djinni is a tool for generating cross-language interface bindings between C++ and other languages. At Snap we managed to add full featured WebAssembly support to it. This means the same interface definitions for mobile platforms can now expose C++ code to Javascript and TypeScript code running in web browsers.

This work has helped bring Snap's large mobile C++ code base to the web with minimal change. It is the foundation of the recently released Snapchat for Desktop Web. And it is currently available on Github (https://github.com/snapchat/djinni).

In this talk you will see how Djinni enabled Snapchat to reuse our mobile C++ codebase in a browser app, how it works under the hood, and how you can use this open source tool in your own web projects.
