Description

This Re2 edition claims to be Web Assembly based (and actually use ecc)

The README file is only mentioning usage from Node.js while:

  • One of the key advantages of Web Assembly is to run C/C++ written code in a browser context
  • there is already another node dedicated Re2 edition (https://github.com/uhop/node-re2/)

Is it just an issue of documentation in the README file?
Or is this edition actually only working from Node.js?
-> and if so, could with expect Browser usage support in an upcomming (quickly? :-) ) version?

Thank you anyway for the Open Source effort

Start by reading the README and checking how this WebAssembly-based edition is intended to be used. Determine whether browser usage is already supported or would require implementation beyond documentation; done means either documenting a verified browser workflow or defining and delivering browser support.
