Lua Table Parser

It parses Lua tables into Ruby hashes without actually executing any Lua.

Based on Lars Christensen's Lua object Treetop grammar.

Example

LuaTableParser.new.parse_table("{ a = "b" }") # => { 'a' => 'b' }

Known limitations

• Can't parse '' or [[]] delimited strings.
• Input must be wrapped in {}s (i.e. mytable = { ... } won't parse).

Todo

• Unit tests
• Work on above limitations
