Ldump is a Lua library designed for serializing Lua data structures. While it offers the ability to serialize a broad range of Lua objects—including tables, functions, and more—some users have raised concerns regarding security, particularly about deserialization. The ability to deserialize arbitrary Lua code can introduce risks, suggesting the need for restricting to a safe subset or using a more secure format. Additionally, users appreciate its simplicity and functionality, ideal for long-running scripts that may require pausing for external operations. Comments also highlight its applicability in game development and interest in corresponding features unavailable in the Lua standard library.
