Ahoi, Moonshiners!

I rebuilt my invoice-writing setup and moved most of the logic from a python script to Lua within ConTeXt.
Now I would like to replace the Python script completely.

Can you suggest libraries that work well with texlua (or are even built-in), WRT
- OO classes (ATM I’m using "classy" from https://github.com/siffiejoe/lua-classy)
- UI (curses would be enough, maybe Qt, rather not wx. I found tekUI, but it won’t compile on OSX)
- JSON (ATM I’ve my customers database in a JSON file, but I should probably move that to a Lua table anyway.)

Regarding UI, maybe I could use some web forms and the infamous ConTeXt webserver.

Experiences anyone?

Greetlings, Hraban
