  • WebR is a version of R compiled for the browser and Node.js using WebAssembly via Emscripten.
  • It allows running R code directly in the browser without needing an R server.
  • Several R packages are ported for WebR and can be loaded using the `library()` function.
  • The project is under active development, and the API may change.
  • Mobile browsers may limit WebAssembly RAM, affecting WebR performance on mobile devices.
  • A WebR REPL demo is available for trying R code directly in the browser.
