    LuaLinq

    LuaLinq

    Lightweight Linq-like library for Lua

    Lightweight Linq-like library for Lua. For the latest version of this project, refer to http://code.google.com/p/lualinq/ Sorry for that. The syntax is very similar to LINQ and reminds of SQL, for those who already know those languages. It’s released with a BSD 3 clause license. It uses a very basic subset of Lua, which allows it to be used also in very restrictive embedding scenarios (e.g. videogames). The focus on data instead of processing makes it suitable for all those scripts where querying the hosting application entities is paramount: RPG videogames, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom.

    LuaUnit

    LuaUnit

    LuaUnit is a popular unit-testing framework for Lua

    LuaUnit is a popular unit-testing framework for Lua, with an interface typical of xUnit libraries (Python unittest, Junit, NUnit, ...). It supports several output formats (Text, TAP, JUnit, etc.) that can be used directly or work with continuous integration platforms (Jenkins, Maven, etc.). LuaUnit may be installed as a rock or directly added to your project. For simplicity, LuaUnit is contained into a single file and has no external dependency. LuaUnit may also be used as an assertion library, to validate assertions inside a running program. In addition, it provides a pretty stringifier that converts any type into a nicely formatted string (including complex nested or recursive tables).
