Emscripten is a source-to-source compiler that runs as a back end to the LLVM compiler and produces a subset of JavaScript known as asm.js.[2] This allows applications and libraries originally designed to be run as standard executables to be integrated into client side web applications. asm.js can be compiled by browsers ahead of time meaning that the compiled programs can run much faster than those traditionally written in JavaScript.
Emscripten has been used to port, among other things, Unreal Engine 3, SQLite, MeshLab,[3] and Bullet physics.[4]

Notable usage
Game Engines

Frameworks & Toolkits
openFrameworks exports native C++ applications to HTML5 via Emscripten.[8]
Software Archiving
In December 2014, the Internet Archive launched a DOSBox emulator compiled in Emscripten to provide browser-based access to thousands of archived MS-DOS and PC programs[9][10][11]
