Ser is a fast, robust, richly-featured table serialization library for Lua. It was specifically written to store configuration and save files for LÖVE games, but can be used anywhere.
Since 2016-02-16, Ser is deprecated. The author will still fix reported bugs, but for new projects recommends bitser if you're using LuaJIT, and binser otherwise. |
Contents
Simple
Ser is very simple and easy to use:
local serialize = require 'ser'
print(serialize({"Hello", world = true}))
-- prints:
-- return {"Hello", world = true}
Fast
Using Serpent's benchmark code, Ser is 33% faster than Serpent.
Robust
Sometimes you have strange, non-euclidean geometries in your table constructions. It happens, I don't judge. Ser can deal with that, where some other serialization libraries cry "Iä! Iä! Cthulhu fhtagn!" and give up — or worse, silently produce incorrect data.
