TLTools

TSerial

Converts tables into strings. That way you can save tables to files, or send them across a network. Currently supports tables with keys that are strings, numbers, or booleans, and values that are strings, numbers, tables, or booleans. Functions, userdata, and circular references aren't supported.

  • TSerial.pack(table) returns a string representation of a table. The string is, in fact, Lua code.
  • TSerial.unpack(string) returns a recreation of the serialized table.
