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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

This package provides Lua table recycling pools for LuaJIT.

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 library makes libuv available to Lua scripts.

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

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 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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.
