 ## Overview
 
-`jco` is a fully native JS tool for working with the emerging [WebAssembly Components](https://github.com/WebAssembly/component-model) specification in JavaScript.

+`jco` can convert code between JS and a Wasm component:
+
+* "Transpile" a Wasm component binary into an ES module that can run in any JS environment.
+* "Componentize" JS code and a WIT world into a Wasm component.

-* "Transpiling" Wasm Component binaries into ES modules that can run in any JS environment.
-* Optimization helpers for Components via Binaryen.
-* Component builds of [Wasm Tools](https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasm-tools) helpers, available for use as a library or CLI commands for use in native JS environments.
