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

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.

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

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

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 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.

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.

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

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.

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 Lua table recycling pools for LuaJIT.

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.

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.

This Lua module offers an interface to the GNU readline library.

The function readline() is a wrapper, which invokes the GNU readline, adds the line to the end of the history list, and then returns the line. Usually you call save_history() before the program exits, so that the history list is saved to the histfile.

This Lua module can dialogue with the user on the controlling-terminal of the process (typically /dev/tty) as returned by ctermid(). It also support most of readline's alternative interface, namely handler_install, read_char and handler_remove, and readline's custom completion.

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.

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.

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.

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.

dkjson is a lua module for processing json in lua. It can handle tasks like encoding or decoding JSON objects to and from lua tables.

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

Fennel is a programming language that brings together the speed, simplicity, and reach of Lua with the flexibility of a Lisp syntax and macro system.

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.

This library makes libuv available to Lua scripts.
