Hi List,There was some discussion a while ago about implementing data serialization using Lua's bytecode format:
http://lua-users.org/wiki/EngramProposal I've gone ahead and implemented it in Lua: https://github.com/richardhundt/lua-engram It's reasonably performant during serialization. Deserialization is fast ;)Anyway, just a bit of fun. If anyone wants a more portable version which produces Lua source instead of bytecode, I've got one lying around.
Cheers, Richard
