lua-stdlib
A comprehensive collection of standard libraries for Lua 5.1, 5.2, and 5.3, including LuaJIT.
What is lua-stdlib?
Lua-stdlib is a collection of general-purpose libraries for Lua that provides additional functionality beyond the standard Lua libraries. It solves the problem of missing or inconsistent utilities across different Lua versions by offering a unified, community-maintained set of modules that work with Lua 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, and LuaJIT.
Lua developers who need reliable, cross-version compatible libraries for their projects, particularly those working with multiple Lua versions or requiring utilities not included in the standard Lua distribution.
Developers choose Lua-stdlib because it's community-driven, follows Lua's design philosophy, has no mandatory dependencies, and is thoroughly tested across all major Lua versions, making it a trustworthy foundation for Lua development.
