LuaBridge3
A lightweight, dependency-free C++17 library for binding Lua to C++ with support for multiple Lua implementations.
What is LuaBridge3?
LuaBridge3 is a lightweight, dependency-free library for binding the Lua scripting language to C++. It allows C++ applications to expose functions, classes, and data structures to Lua, enabling scripting and runtime extensibility. The library solves the problem of creating a high-performance, type-safe bridge between C++ and Lua without requiring complex build systems or external dependencies.
C++ developers who need to embed Lua as a scripting language in their applications, particularly in game development, tools, or software requiring runtime customization. It's also suitable for projects targeting multiple Lua implementations like LuaJIT or Luau.
Developers choose LuaBridge3 for its headers-only simplicity, competitive performance comparable to sol2, and broad compatibility with Lua versions including LuaJIT and Luau. Its modern C++17 design, support for exceptions-free builds, and advanced features like coroutine integration offer a robust and future-proof binding solution.
