+
+Serializes and deserializes Lua values with LuaJIT.
+
+```lua
+local bitser = require 'bitser'
+
+bitser.register('someResource', someResource)
+bitser.registerClass(SomeClass)
+
+serializedString = bitser.dumps(someValue)
+someValue = bitser.loads(serializedString)
+```
+
+Documentation can be found in [USAGE.md](USAGE.md).
+
+Pull requests, bug reports and other feedback welcome! :heart:
+
+Bitser is released under the ISC license (functionally equivalent to the BSD
+2-Clause and MIT licenses).
+
+Please note that bitser requires LuaJIT for its `ffi` library and JIT compilation. Without JIT, it may or may not run, but it will be much slower than usual. This primarily affects Android and iOS, because JIT is disabled on those platforms.
+
+## Why would I use this?
+
+Because it's fast. Because it produces tiny output. Because the name means "snappier"
+or "unfriendlier" in Dutch. Because it's safe to use with untrusted data.
+
+Because it's inspired by [binser](https://github.com/bakpakin/binser), which is great.
+
+## How do I use the benchmark thingy?
+
+Download zero or more of [binser.lua](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bakpakin/binser/master/binser.lua),
+[ser.lua](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gvx/Ser/master/ser.lua),
+[smallfolk.lua](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gvx/Smallfolk/master/smallfolk.lua),
+[serpent.lua](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pkulchenko/serpent/master/src/serpent.lua) and
+[MessagePack.lua](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fperrad/lua-MessagePack/master/src/MessagePack.lua), and run:
+
+    love .
+
+You do need [LÖVE](https://love2d.org/) for that.
+
+You can add more cases in the folder `cases/` (check out `_new.lua`), and add other
+serializers to the benchmark in `main.lua`. If you do either of those things, please
+send me a pull request!
+
+## You can register classes?
+
+Yes. At the moment, bitser supports MiddleClass, SECL, hump.class, Slither and Moonscript classes (and
+probably some other class libraries by accident).

+# Basic usage
+
+```lua
+local bitser = require 'bitser'
+
+-- some_thing can be almost any lua value
+local binary_data = bitser.dumps(some_thing)
+
+-- binary_data is a string containing some serialized value
+local copy_of_some_thing = bitser.loads(binary_data)
+```
+
+Bitser can't dump values of type `function`, `userdata` or `thread`, or anything that
+contains one of those. If you need to, look into [`bitser.register`](#register).
+
+# Serializing class instances
+
+All you need to make bitser correctly serialize your class instances is register that class:
+
+```lua
+-- this is usually enough
+bitser.registerClass(MyClass)
+
+-- if you use Slither, you can add it to __attributes__
+class 'MyClass' {
+			__attributes__ = {bitser.registerClass},
+			-- insert rest of class here
+}
+
+local data = bitser.dumps(MyClass(42))
+local instance = bitser.loads(data)
+```
+
+Note that classnames need to be unique to avoid confusion, so if you have two different classes named `Foo` you'll need to do
+something like:
+
+```lua
+-- in module_a.lua
+bitser.registerClass('module_a.Foo', Foo)
+
+-- in module_b.lua
+bitser.registerClass('module_b.Foo', Foo)
+```
+
+See the reference sections on [`bitser.registerClass`](#registerclass) and
+[`bitser.unregisterClass`](#unregisterclass) for more information.
+
+## Supported class libraries
+
+* MiddleClass
+* SECL
+* hump.class
+* Slither
+* Moonscript classes
+
+# Advanced usage
+
+If you use [LÖVE](https://love2d.org/), you'll want to use [`bitser.dumpLoveFile`](#dumplovefile) and [`bitser.loadLoveFile`](#loadlovefile) if you want to serialize to the save directory. You also might have images and other resources that you'll need to register, like follows:
+
+```lua
+function love.load()
+  bad_guy_img = bitser.register('bad_guy_img', love.graphics.newImage('img/bad_guy.png'))
+  if love.filesystem.exists('save_point.dat') then
+    level_data = bitser.loadLoveFile('save_point.dat')
+  else
+    level_data = create_level_data()
+  end
+end
+
+function save_point_reached()
+  bitser.dumpLoveFile('save_point.dat', level_data)
+end
+```
+
+# Reference
+
+## dumps
+
+```lua
+string = bitser.dumps(value)
+```
+
+Basic serialization of `value` into a Lua string.
+
+See also: [`bitser.loads`](#loads).
+
+## dumpLoveFile
+
+```lua
+bitser.dumpLoveFile(file_name, value)
+```
+
+Serializes `value` and writes the result to `file_name` more efficiently than serializing to a string and writing
+that string to a file. Only useful if you're running [LÖVE](https://love2d.org/).
+
+See also: [`bitser.loadLoveFile`](#loadlovefile).
+
+## loads
+
+```lua
+value = bitser.loads(string)
+```
+
+Deserializes `value` from `string`.
+
+See also: [`bitser.dumps`](#dumps).
+
+## loadData
+
+```lua
+value = bitser.loadData(light_userdata, size)
+```
+
+Deserializes `value` from raw data. You probably won't need to use this function ever.
+
+When running [LÖVE](https://love2d.org/), you would use it like this:
+
+```lua
+value = bitser.loadData(data:getPointer(), data:getSize())
+```
+
+Where `data` is an instance of a subclass of [Data](https://love2d.org/wiki/Data).
+
+## loadLoveFile
+
+```lua
+value = bitser.loadLoveFile(file_name)
+```
+
+Reads from `file_name` and deserializes `value` more efficiently than reading the file and then deserializing that string.
+Only useful if you're running [LÖVE](https://love2d.org/).
+
+See also: [`bitser.dumpLoveFile`](#dumplovefile).
+
+## register
+
+```lua
+resource = bitser.register(name, resource)
+```
+
+Registers the value `resource` with the name `name`, which has to be a unique string. Registering static resources like images,
+functions, classes, huge strings and LuaJIT ctypes, makes sure bitser doesn't attempt to serialize them, but only stores a named
+reference to them.
+
+Returns the registered resource as a convenience.
+
+See also: [`bitser.unregister`](#unregister).
+
+## registerClass
+
+```lua
+class = bitser.registerClass(class)
+class = bitser.registerClass(name, class)
+class = bitser.registerClass(name, class, classkey, deserializer)
+```
+
+Registers the class `class`, so that bitser can correctly serialize and deserialize instances of `class`.
+
+Note that if you want to serialize the class _itself_, you'll need to [register the class as a resource](#register).
+
+Most of the time the first variant is enough, but some class libraries don't store the
+class name on the class object itself, in which case you'll need to use the second variant.
+
+Class names also have to be unique, so if you use multiple classes with the same name, you'll need to use the second
+variant as well to give them different names.
+
+The arguments `classkey` and `deserializer` exist so you can hook in unsupported class libraries without needing
+to patch bitser. [See the list of supported class libraries](#supported-class-libraries).
+
+If not nil, the argument `classkey` should be a string such that
+`rawget(obj, classkey) == class` for any `obj` whose type is `class`. This is done so that key is skipped for serialization.
+
+If not nil, the argument `deserializer` should be a function such that `deserializer(obj, class)` returns a valid
+instance of `class` with the properties of `obj`. `deserializer` is allowed to mutate `obj`.
+
+Returns the registered class as a convenience.
+
+See also: [`bitser.unregisterClass`](#unregisterclass).
+
+## unregister
+
+```lua
+bitser.unregister(name)
+```
+
+Deregisters the previously registered value with the name `name`.
+
+See also: [`bitser.register`](#register).
+
+## unregisterClass
+
+```lua
+bitser.unregisterClass(name)
+```
+
+Deregisters the previously registered class with the name `name`. Note that this works by name and not value,
+which is useful in a context where you don't have a reference to the class you want to unregister.
+
+See also: [`bitser.registerClass`](#registerclass).
+
+## reserveBuffer
+
+```lua
+bitser.reserveBuffer(num_bytes)
+```
+
+Makes sure the buffer used for reading and writing serialized data is at least `num_bytes` large.
+You probably don't need to ever use this function.
+
+## clearBuffer
+
+```lua
+bitser.clearBuffer()
+```
+
+Frees up the buffer used for reading and writing serialized data for garbage collection.
+You'll rarely need to use this function, except if you needed a huge buffer before and now only need a small buffer
+(or are done (de)serializing altogether). Most of the time, using this function will decrease performance needlessly.

+
+[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/camchenry/sock.lua.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/camchenry/sock.lua)
+[![Coverage Status](https://coveralls.io/repos/github/camchenry/sock.lua/badge.svg?branch=master)](https://coveralls.io/github/camchenry/sock.lua?branch=master)
+
+sock.lua is a networking library for LÖVE games. Its goal is to make getting started with networking as easy as possible.
+
+[Documentation](https://camchenry.github.io/sock.lua/)
+
+**sock requires [enet](https://github.com/leafo/lua-enet) (which comes with LÖVE 0.9 and up.)**
+
+## Features
+
+- Event trigger system makes it easy to add behavior to network events.
+- Can send images and files over the network.
+- Can use a custom serialization library.
+- Logs events, errors, and warnings that occur.
+
+# Installation
+
+1. Clone or download sock.lua.
+2. Clone or download [bitser](https://github.com/gvx/bitser).\*
+3. Place bitser.lua in the same directory as sock.lua.
+4. Require the library and start using it. `sock = require 'sock'`
+
+\* If custom serialization support is needed, look at [setSerialization](https://camchenry.github.io/sock.lua//index.html#Server:setSerialization).
+
+# Example
+
+```lua
+local sock = require "sock"
+
+-- client.lua
+function love.load()
+    -- Creating a new client on localhost:22122
+    client = sock.newClient("localhost", 22122)
+    
+    -- Creating a client to connect to some ip address
+    client = sock.newClient("198.51.100.0", 22122)
+
+    -- Called when a connection is made to the server
+    client:on("connect", function(data)
+        print("Client connected to the server.")
+    end)
+    
+    -- Called when the client disconnects from the server
+    client:on("disconnect", function(data)
+        print("Client disconnected from the server.")
+    end)
+
+    -- Custom callback, called whenever you send the event from the server
+    client:on("hello", function(msg)
+        print("The server replied: " .. msg)
+    end)
+
+    client:connect()
+    
+    --  You can send different types of data
+    client:send("greeting", "Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya.")
+    client:send("isShooting", true)
+    client:send("bulletsLeft", 1)
+    client:send("position", {
+        x = 465.3,
+        y = 50,
+    })
+end
+
+function love.update(dt)
+    client:update()
+end
+```
+
+```lua
+-- server.lua
+function love.load()
+    -- Creating a server on any IP, port 22122
+    server = sock.newServer("*", 22122)
+    
+    -- Called when someone connects to the server
+    server:on("connect", function(data, client)
+        -- Send a message back to the connected client
+        local msg = "Hello from the server!"
+        client:send("hello", msg)
+    end)
+end
+
+function love.update(dt)
+    server:update()
