Lua Cjson Library
Ben Whaley , 16 Jul 2025 (created 11 Aug 2011)Lua CJSON is a Lua C module that provides fast JSON parsing and encoding support for Lua.
Project homepage: https://kyne.au/~mark/software/lua-cjson.php
OpenResty includes its own fork of this library, however. The repository of OpenResty's fork is on GitHub:
https://github.com/openresty/lua-cjson/
This library is enabled by default. You can specify the --without-lua_cjson option
to OpenResty's ./configure script to explicitly disable it.
