I have to construct deeply nested tables and sometimes lose track of what is at what level of my table, so I was wondering if there was an easy way of visualizing a nested table. On the web, you can find a number of (mostly abandoned) projects; the one at http://siffiejoe.github.io/lua-microscope/ says: "Many Lua programmers have written their own pretty-printer or data dumper and some even use it for (de-)serializing Lua data structures.” So I was wondering if any of the Lua users here on the list has something they want to share.
Well, there’s table.serialize from the ConTeXt core, which fits nicely
in the description you quote.
Best,
Arthur
