ODIELAK

A small lua lib, that performs char (1 byte char from 0 to 255) to value replacements, like string.gsub, but more faster and has some additional features (like functions and a metatable __tostring attr)

	-- with lak
	local lak = require "odielak";

	local escape = lak.new({
		['&'] = '&',
		['<'] = '&lt;',
		['>'] = '&gt;'
	});

	local escaped_str = escape("escape >th&is<");
	-- escaped_str = "escape &gt;th&amp;is&lt;"

	-- same with gsub

	local t = {
		['&'] = '&',
		['<'] = '&lt;',
		['>'] = '&gt;'
	}

	local r = "[&<>]";

	local escaped_str = string.gsub("escape >th&is<", r, t);
	-- escaped_str = "escape &gt;th&amp;is&lt;"
