OXP — Open Extension Protocol (VS Code host)

Run universal OXP extensions (.wasm components) inside VS Code. One extension binary, every editor — see https://oxprotocol.org.

Features

• Install from URL — paste any https://…wasm (or file://) and the extension is fetched, hashed, cached, and loaded into a sandboxed wasm runtime.
• Permission prompts — capabilities declared by the extension are surfaced before activation. Cancel = no install.
• In-IDE rendering — wasm components draw their UI through the oxp:ui/v1 interface, hosted in a dedicated webview tab.

Usage

1. OXP: Open Runtime Panel (Command Palette) → Start runtime.
2. OXP: Install Extension from URL… → paste a URL.
3. Approve requested permissions → the extension UI appears as a new tab.

For local development, point at a static file server:

python3 -m http.server 8765
# then install from http://localhost:8765/your_extension.wasm

http:// is allowed only for localhost / 127.0.0.1 / ::1.
