LTCS v0.1

What is this?

This is basically just an JSON Alternative which can be up to %30 smaller. It also uses base91 to represent numbers instead of literal strings.

What is the best way to use this?

LTCS is really bad at ordered tables, sometimes you may use oreded tables when you dont expect it. LTCS requires at least 1 character to represent indexes and values.

What can LTCS do that json cant

  1. Mixed Tables

  2. Non string indexes, allows any type

  3. Can save metatables.

How to use

LTCS has to methods,. and is very simple to use

local Table = {A=1,B=2,C=3,D=9}

local String = LTCS.Encode(Table)

local Compare = LTCS.Decode(String)

print(Table,Compare) --> Should be the same !
