Selene is a simple C++11 header-only library enabling seamless interoperability between C++ and Lua programming language.

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.

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.

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.

Luamake is a platform independent configuration and build system that uses the standard Lua command-line interpreter.

The Lua language server provides various language features for Lua to make development easier and faster, including:

• Support for all recent versions of Lua, including LuaJIT

• Jump to definition

• Dynamic type checking

• Find references

• Diagnostics/Warnings

• Syntax checking

• Element renaming

• Hover to view details on variables, functions, and more

• Auto-completion

• Support for libraries

• Code formatting

• Spell checking

• Custom plugins

• Documentation generation

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

The Bee Lua runtime implements a few extra features such as:

• Deterministic tables traversal

• Enable lua_assert in debug mode

• Add error hook (for debugger)

• Add resume/yield hook (for debugger)

• Disable tail calls in debug mode (for debugger)

This library makes libuv available to Lua scripts.

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

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.

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.

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 package provides Lua library for killing or sending signals to Linux processes.

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.

LuaFileSystem is a Lua library developed to complement the set of functions related to file systems offered by the standard Lua distribution. LuaFileSystem offers a portable way to access the underlying directory structure and file attributes.

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

LuaRocks is the package manager for the Lua programming language.

It allows you to install Lua modules as self-contained packages called rocks, which also contain version dependency information. This information can be used both during installation, so that when one rock is requested all rocks it depends on are installed as well, and also optionally at run time, so that when a module is required, the correct version is loaded. LuaRocks supports both local and remote repositories, and multiple local rocks trees.

This package provides a FFI-based Lua API for ngx_http_lua_module or ngx_stream_lua_module.

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.

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.
