pgmoon
A pure Lua PostgreSQL client library for OpenResty, LuaSocket, cqueues, and LuaPosix environments.
What is pgmoon?
pgmoon is a PostgreSQL client library written in pure Lua. It enables Lua applications to connect to and query PostgreSQL databases, supporting multiple socket backends like OpenResty's cosocket, LuaSocket, cqueues, and LuaPosix. It solves the need for a lightweight, portable database driver that works seamlessly across different Lua environments, especially in asynchronous contexts.
Lua developers building web applications with OpenResty, or any Lua project requiring PostgreSQL database connectivity. It's particularly valuable for those needing asynchronous query support in high-performance server environments.
Developers choose pgmoon because it's a pure Lua solution with no external C dependencies, offers a consistent API across multiple Lua environments, and provides advanced features like connection pooling, SSL support, and automatic type conversion. Its integration with OpenResty's cosocket API makes it ideal for non-blocking database operations in web servers.
