bitser
A fast LuaJIT-based serializer for Lua values, producing compact output and supporting class registration.
What is bitser?
bitser is a Lua serialization library that converts Lua values into compact strings and restores them back, optimized for use with LuaJIT. It solves the need for fast and efficient data serialization in Lua applications, particularly for scenarios like saving game states, transmitting data over networks, or caching. The library emphasizes speed and small output sizes while ensuring safety with untrusted serialized data.
Lua developers, especially those using LuaJIT, who need high-performance serialization for applications like game development, data storage, or networked systems.
Developers choose bitser for its exceptional speed and minimal output size, leveraging LuaJIT's capabilities. Its support for registering classes from various Lua class libraries and safety with untrusted data make it a robust alternative to other serialization tools.
