Ser is a fast, robust, richly-featured table serialization library for Lua. It was specifically written to store configuration and save files for LÖVE games, but can be used anywhere.

(Since 2016-02-16, Ser is deprecated. The author will still fix reported bugs, but for new projects recommends [[bitser]] if you're using LuaJIT, and [[binser]] otherwise.)
 
 
 
== Simple ==
 
 
 
Ser is very simple and easy to use:
 
 
 
<source lang="lua">local serialize = require 'ser'
 
 
 
print(serialize({"Hello", world = true}))
 
-- prints:
 
-- return {"Hello", world = true}</source>
 
 
 
== Fast ==
 
 
 
Using Serpent's benchmark code, Ser is 33% faster than Serpent.
 
 
 
== Robust ==
 
 
 
Sometimes you have strange, non-euclidean geometries in your table constructions. It happens, I don't judge. Ser can deal with that, where some other serialization libraries cry "Iä! Iä! Cthulhu fhtagn!" and give up — or worse, silently produce incorrect data.
