What is the difference between nlua and keralua? which library should we use in which situation?

viniciusjarina commented 11 months ago

KeraLua is 1:1 projection of Lua C library to C#/.NET NLua uses that projection to dynamically invoke methods/properties etc using reflection

@viniciusjarina Thank you very much for your answer, so keralua and nlua are not alternatives to each other, do I understand correctly?

viniciusjarina commented 11 months ago

NLua uses KeraLua. You could use KeraLua if you want a simple binding from C# to Lua without requiring a lot of reflection. I strongly recommend the Lua author book https://www.amazon.com/Programming-Lua-Fourth-Roberto-Ierusalimschy/dp/8590379868/
