Smallfork

Smallfork is a reasonably fast, robust, richtly-featured table serialization library for LuaU, forked from Smallfolk. It was specifically forked for serializing remote packets, but could be used anywhere.

You use, distribute and extend Smallfork under the terms of the MIT license.

Usage

Smallfork is very simple and easy to use:

local Smallfork = require("Path.to.Smallfork")

print(Smallfork.dumps({Hello = "World", Foo = 1234567890, Bar = true, Red = Color3.new(1, 0, 0), Home = Vector3.new(1, 2, 3)}))
print(Smallfork.loads('{"Hello":"World","Home":v1,2,3,"Red":k1,0,0,"Bar":t,"Foo":1234567890}'))
-- prints:
-- {"Hello","world":t}
-- bar
