The value type is used to indicate, that all of Lua's types can be used in a certain place (e.g.: as arguments).

It is an artifical type solely created for the wiki and doesn't exist in Lua.

Types

A value can be a flat table, a boolean, a string, a number or LÖVE userdata.

Note

Foreign userdata (Lua's files, LuaSocket, ENet, ...), functions, and tables inside tables are not supported.
