GILua is a tool for creating dynamic web pages and manipulating input
|
||
|
|
data from forms. It is simple but powerful, allowing complex tasks to be
|
||
|
|
carried out with minimum effort. Typical applications that can be
|
||
|
|
developed with CGILua include, for instance, web based information
|
||
|
|
systems accessing external data (databases) and gateways to existing
|
||
|
|
systems.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CGILua uses the interpreted language Lua as a server-side scripting
|
||
|
|
language for creating dynamic Web pages. Both pure Lua Scripts and Lua
|
||
|
|
Pages are supported by CGILua. A Lua script is essentially a Lua program
|
||
|
|
that creates the whole contents of a web page and returns it to the web
|
||
|
|
server. A Lua page is a conventional markup text (HTML, XML etc) file
|
||
|
|
that embeds Lua code using some special tags.
