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.

This Lua library provides LPeg lexers for source code syntax highlighting. It can either be used by itself or as a drop-in replacement for Scintilla lexers.

This is a binding to libunbound for Lua, allowing both asynchronous and DNSSEC-secured DNS lookups of arbitrary DNS record types.

It was created because Prosody needs an asynchronous DNS library with support for SRV records, and the ones found at the time did one or the other, or was missing DNSSEC that allowed implementing DANE.

It originated out of a need in the XMPP server software Prosody for an async-capable resolver library supporting SRV records, as well as a desire to experiment with DNSSEC and new DNS records.

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

This library makes libuv available to Lua scripts.

Lunit is a unit testing framework for Lua. It includes lunitx extensions adding Lua 5.2 compatibility via lunit.module and the lunitx module for running tests automatically at program exit.

Lua BitOp is a C extension module for Lua which adds bitwise operations on numbers.

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

This package provides a Lua parser for djot, a light markup syntax. It can produce an AST, rendered HTML, or a stream of match tokens that identify elements by source position, which could be used for syntax highlighting or a linting tool.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

LuaSQLite3 is a thin wrapper around the public domain SQLite3 database engine. It provides a complete binding to the SQLite3 C API from within Lua programs.

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.
