LuaJSON Roadmap

My LuaJSON project (hosted at GitHub) has slowed down in development over time as new features are hard to implement when the problem is so well defined. I do have a few plans for LuaJSON, however.

First priorities:

  • Figure out how to do nil round-tripping safely
  • Create validation tests for the enhanced error output in the latest-and-greatest code
  • Make sure it works with Lua 5.2
Future items:
  • Prepare LuaJSON for inclusion in the Gentoo package database
  • Construct small C Lua extension to offer faster encoding options
  • Construct small C Lua extension to offer faster decoding options 
If there are any ideas for enhancements or new-found-bugs, please don't hesitate to post them on my LuaJSON issue-tracker or here.
