For starters, read the wiki pages.

Hi Prakash!

Compiling to WebAssembly is an exciting idea.

There is some documentation here: https://wiki.freepascal.org/WebAssembly

For what I understand, the programs can be embedded in a web page with pas2js and it runs within it a WebAssembly compiled. For example:
https://www.freepascal.org/~michael/pas2js-demos/wasienv/canvas/
There are links at the bottom of the page to show the source code.

Does it mean to hide codes of jacascript?

WebAssembly (Wasm) is the 'executable' binary format for an abstract machine. The web browser implements this abstract machine allowing it to execute .wasm files. Wasm is designed to be executed at near native speed; well, nearer to native speed than Javascript can be.

Since Wasm is an executable format, programming languages can target it. That's another benefit of Wasm:
Write programs for the web browser in your favourite language.

Actually, modern computers are so fast, and desktop computers typically so idle, people have compiled interpreters (Python, Javascript, etc) into Wasm, then use the web browser's Wasm engine to run the interpreter to run Python/Javascript/whatever scripts. Layers upon layers of compilation/transformation and still fast enough to be useful and/or fun.
