These are the data types that are used by this wiki; some of them are wiki-specific aggregates for clearer documentation reasons.
Types
Lua Types
You can use the type function to get the type of a variable.
nil- Denotes the lack of a value. Only 'nil' has the type 'nil'.
boolean- Denotes a logical value. Can be 'true' or 'false'.
number- Denotes a double-precision floating-point value. Includes infinities and not-a-numbers.
string- Denotes an array of characters; immutable.
table- Denotes a combined numerical-array and hash-table.
function- Denotes a callable function.
userdata- Denotes arbitrary C data.
thread- Denotes coroutines.
Löve Types
Data- Superclass of the below types.
CompressedData- Holds arbitrary compressed data.
CompressedImageData- Holds compressed image data.
FileData- Holds file data.
FontData- Holds font data.
GlyphData- Holds glyph data.
ImageData- Holds image data.
SoundData- Holds sound data.
Object- Superclass of the below types.

Semantic (Wiki) Types
table flat table- Denotes a combined numerical-array and hash-table that does not have any table values inside it.
Variant- Can be a flat table, a boolean, a number, a string, or a LÖVE userdata.
