This library makes libuv available to Lua scripts.

The cqueues extension module for Lua implements an event loop that operates through the yielding and resumption of coroutines. It is designed to be non-intrusive, composable, and embeddable within existing applications.

Penlight is a set of pure Lua libraries focusing on input data handling (such as reading configuration files), functional programming (such as map, reduce, placeholder expressions,etc), and OS path management. Much of the functionality is inspired by the Python standard libraries.

The luaossl extension module for Lua provides comprehensive, low-level bindings to the OpenSSL library, including support for certificate and key management, key generation, signature verification, and deep bindings to the distinguished name, alternative name, and X.509v3 extension interfaces. It also binds OpenSSL's bignum, message digest, HMAC, cipher, and CSPRNG interfaces.

Lua is a powerful, fast, lightweight, embeddable scripting language. Lua combines simple procedural syntax with powerful data description constructs based on associative arrays and extensible semantics. Lua is dynamically typed, runs by interpreting bytecode for a register-based virtual machine, and has automatic memory management with incremental garbage collection, making it ideal for configuration, scripting, and rapid prototyping.

LGI is gobject-introspection based dynamic Lua binding to GObject based libraries. It allows using GObject-based libraries directly from Lua. Notable examples are GTK+, GStreamer and Webkit.

This package provides a way to turn Lua code into Fennel code. This compiler does the opposite of what the Fennel compiler does.

LuaSocket is a Lua extension library that is composed by two parts: a C core that provides support for the TCP and UDP transport layers, and a set of Lua modules that add support for functionality commonly needed by applications that deal with the Internet.

Among the supported modules, the most commonly used implement the SMTP (sending e-mails), HTTP (WWW access) and FTP (uploading and downloading files) client protocols. These provide a very natural and generic interface to the functionality defined by each protocol. In addition, you will find that the MIME (common encodings), URL (anything you could possible want to do with one) and LTN12 (filters, sinks, sources and pumps) modules can be very handy.

LuaSec is a binding for OpenSSL library to provide TLS/SSL communication. It takes an already established TCP connection and creates a secure session between the peers.

This is the official OpenResty branch of LuaJIT. It is not to be considered a fork, since changes are regularly synchronized from the upstream LuaJIT project. This package also enables the Lua 5.2 compat mode needed by some projects.

This package provides Lua LRU cache based on the LuaJIT FFI.

LDoc is a LuaDoc-compatible documentation generation system for Lua source code. It parses the declaration and documentation comments in a set of Lua source files and produces a set of XHTML pages describing the commented declarations and functions.

Lutok is a lightweight C++ API library for Lua.

Lutok provides thin C++ wrappers around the Lua C API to ease the interaction between C++ and Lua. These wrappers make intensive use of RAII to prevent resource leakage, expose C++-friendly data types, report errors by means of exceptions and ensure that the Lua stack is always left untouched in the face of errors. The library also provides a small subset of miscellaneous utility functions built on top of the wrappers.

Lutok focuses on providing a clean and safe C++ interface; the drawback is that it is not suitable for performance-critical environments. In order to implement error-safe C++ wrappers on top of a Lua C binary library, Lutok adds several layers or abstraction and error checking that go against the original spirit of the Lua C API and thus degrade performance.

LuaJIT is a Just-In-Time Compiler (JIT) for the Lua programming language. Lua is a powerful, dynamic and light-weight programming language. It may be embedded or used as a general-purpose, stand-alone language.

LGI is gobject-introspection based dynamic Lua binding to GObject based libraries. It allows using GObject-based libraries directly from Lua. Notable examples are GTK+, GStreamer and Webkit.

LuaExpat is a SAX XML parser based on the Expat library.

LPeg is a pattern-matching library for Lua, based on Parsing Expression Grammars (PEGs).
