lua-seri

Lua serialization and deserialization library written by C.

Usage

local xrpack = require "lxrpack"

1. pack and unpack

xrpack.pack and xrpack.unpack can pass data between different threads, the pack method is used to create memory and pack data, and the unpack method is used to unpack data and free memory.

2. encode and decode

xrpack.encode and xrpack.decode can pack Lua data structures into characters for network transmission.

Note

encode and decode may crash between multiple threads, pack and unpack will inevitably cause double free if used between multiple threads.

If you want to use them safely, remember the following rules:

• Thread-1 uses pack to generate data1, then Thread-2 can only be allowed to call unpack(data1) once to get the actual data.

• encode and decode must appear in pairs; the sender calls encode to generate, and the receiver calls decode to decode.
