High level Lua bindings to Rust
OTHER License
rlua is now deprecated in favour of mlua: see below for migration information
rlua
is now a thin transitional wrapper around
mlua
; it is recommended to use mlua
directly for new projects and to migrate to it when convenient. mlua
was a
fork of rlua
which has recently seen more development activity and new
features.
rlua
0.20 includes some utilities to help transition to mlua
, but is otherwise
just re-exporting mlua
directly.
The main changes are:
In mlua
, Lua::context()
is no longer necessary. The methods previously on
Context
can now be called directly on the Lua
object. rlua
0.20 includes
an RluaCompat
extension trait which adds a context()
method which can be used
to avoid having to update code all at once.
The ToLua
trait has been renamed to IntoLua
, and its conversion method to_lua
is now into_lua
. rlua
0.20 includes ToLua
as an alias for IntoLua
and an
extension ToLuaCompat
which adds a to_lua
method as a temporary convenience.
A few other changes which should be less disruptive:
mlua
has different defaults and options for blocking loading C libraries orLua::new_with
