serde

Built-in serialization/deserialization & encoding/decoding functions

Example usage

local fs = require("@lune/fs")
local serde = require("@lune/serde")

-- Parse different file formats into lua tables
local someJson = serde.decode("json", fs.readFile("myFile.json"))
local someToml = serde.decode("toml", fs.readFile("myFile.toml"))
local someYaml = serde.decode("yaml", fs.readFile("myFile.yaml"))

-- Write lua tables to files in different formats
fs.writeFile("myFile.json", serde.encode("json", someJson))
fs.writeFile("myFile.toml", serde.encode("toml", someToml))
fs.writeFile("myFile.yaml", serde.encode("yaml", someYaml))
