Sol2
Sol2 is a C++ Lua binding library that serves as a language interoperability layer for integrating Lua scripts into C++ applications. It acts as a scripting wrapper and API toolkit, enabling the execution of Lua code and the management of shared state within a native C++ environment.
The library focuses on automated function and type mapping to bridge native C++ classes and complex data types with the Lua scripting engine. It provides mechanisms for bidirectional data exchange, allowing compiled logic and variables to be synchronized between the host application and the script runtime.
The system includes capabilities for native API binding, custom type mapping, and the execution of scripts from within a C++ environment. It also handles resource management through automatic memory management and the tracking of object lifetimes.
Features
- Embedded Lua Scripting - Provides a comprehensive library for embedding the Lua scripting engine into C++ applications.
