slua is a fast Lua binding library for Unity3D and mono that uses static code generation instead of reflection to export C#/.NET interfaces to Lua. It supports iOS64/il2cpp, remote debugging, and a standalone mode for pure .NET/mono server development.

Use cases

• script unity game logic in lua
• hot reload game code without rebuilding
• bind c# api to lua without reflection overhead
• embed lua in a mono or .net server
• export unityengine interfaces to lua scripts
• run lua scripts on ios with il2cpp

When to choose

• you need the fastest possible lua-c# binding in unity via static codegen
• you target ios64 or il2cpp and need full lua support
• you want to hot-update game logic via lua scripts
• you need lua scripting in a non-unity .net/mono project via slua-standalone

When to avoid

• you use a modern unity version beyond the tested 4.6-5.5 range
• you prefer reflection-based or dynamic bindings like xLua with richer community support
• you need built-in third-party lua libraries like protobuf or lpeg
• your project does not use unity or mono/.net
