interesting! it should be equal since it's always just a pointer to that same table.
I just never tried, so amn't entirely sure.
Iirc I needed a json lib on Windows, or was just fed up with compiling things for some reason, and used dkjson instead of cjson. It turned out to be more than adequate, as is pretty typical for Lua-only code. Although it can use the LPeg lib to speed up parsing.
yeah there's a lot of regex in there so i definitely get wanting some compiled parts.
