[ANN] Lua table serializer (lts), 2026-06

[Martin Eden]

Ahoy list,

I'm happy to announce end of rework of my Lua graph serializer.

It's function to print Lua table to string with Lua code that
recreates this table.

It was first announced somewhere in 2017 or 2018.

It's more than common Joe's t2s:

  local graph_to_str = require('serialize_lua_graph`)

  Graph = { [{}] = {} }
  Graph['\\'] = Graph
  Graph[Graph] = Graph

  print(graph_to_str(Graph))

  --[[
  local T_1 = { [{ }] = { } }
  T_1[ [[\]]] = T_1
  T_1[T_1] = T_1
  return T_1
  ]]

I hope you'll find it useful:

All feedback is welcome.
