Lua is a powerful, fast, lightweight, embeddable scripting language
On Linux and Mac OS X it takes little over 200 kb when compiled into your application. On Windows it takes little over 300 kb.

Lua is proven and robust language
Lua has been used in many industrial applications, with an emphasis on embedded systems (e.g., the Ginga middleware for digital TV in Brazil) and games (e.g., World of Warcraft). Lua is currently the leading scripting language in games. Lua has a solid reference manual and there are several books about it. Several versions of Lua have been released and used in real applications since its creation in 1993. Lua featured in HOPL III, the Third ACM SIGPLAN History of Programming Languages Conference, in June 2007.

Lua is fast
Lua has a deserved reputation for performance. To claim to be "as fast as Lua" is an aspiration of other scripting languages. Several benchmarks show Lua as the fastest language in the realm of interpreted scripting languages. Lua is fast not only in fine-tuned benchmark programs, but in real life too. A substantial fraction of large applications have been written in Lua.

The Lua script engine Lua is designed, implemented, and maintained by a team at PUC-Rio, the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. Lua was born and raised in Tecgraf, the Computer Graphics Technology Group of PUC-Rio, and is now housed at Lablua. Both Tecgraf and Lablua are laboratories of the Department of Computer Science of PUC-Rio.

See more at www.lua.org and by all means support their project by buying a book from their site.

JSON Plugin III is a Xojo plugin that adds parsing of JSON messages as well as ability to create them as well as other advanced features such as JSON schema validation, JSON Pointer queries and more.

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format. It is easy for humans to read and write. It is easy for machines to parse and generate. It is based on a subset of the JavaScript Programming Language, Standard ECMA-262 3rd Edition - December 1999. JSON is a text format that is completely language independent but uses conventions that are familiar to programmers of the C-family of languages, including C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Perl, Python, and many others. These properties make JSON an ideal data-interchange language.

See more at "http://www.json.org"

Einhugur has 3 different JSON Plugins, all of which are maintained and supported.

The Einhugur Serialization Framework for Xojo is to serialise complex class structures with just 2 lines of code without adding any code to your classes.
(You can add attributes to your class properties to fine tune the serialisation but it is not required)

• The framework can output to JSON. This library is fork of our former Einhugur Serialization Framework but it was decided to split it up and have Xml and JSON separate to make the update process smoother.
