## What it is
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
