**serialize** provides two functions:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* `pack()` packs Lua tables to string.
|
|
|
|
|
* `unpack()` unpacks a string back to a Lua table.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The implementation strives to be useful under the majority of reasonable use cases,
|
|
|
|
|
to be compact, understandable and sufficiently fast.
|
|
|
|
|
There is no pretense of complete generality, nor of absolute efficiency.
|
|
|
|
|
In case **serialize** does not meet exactly your requirements, the code
|
|
|
|
|
should be immediate enough to tweak to your needs.
