Web/API/AudioWorklet

Secure contextThis feature is available only in secure contexts (HTTPS), in some or all supporting browsers.

The worklet's code is run in the AudioWorkletGlobalScope global execution context, using a separate Web Audio thread which is shared by the worklet and other audio nodes.

Access the audio context's instance of AudioWorklet through the BaseAudioContext.audioWorklet property.
