-- serialize.lua
-- Lua-conformant library file that has no minetest dependencies
-- Contains the serialization and deserialization routines

--[[
Version history:
1 - initial
2 - also escaping CR character as &r

Structure of entry:
[keytype][key]:[valuetype][val]
Types:
	B - bool
		-> 0=false, 1=true
    S - string
		-> see below
    N - number
		-> thing compatible with tonumber()
Table:
[keytype][key]:T
... content is nested in table until the matching
E

example:
LUA_SER v=2		{
Skey:Svalue			key = "value",
N1:Seins			[1] = "eins",
B1:T				[true] = {
Sa:Sb					a = "b",
Sc:B0					c = false,
E					}
E				}

String representations:
In strings the following characters are escaped by &
'&' -> '&&'
(line break) -> '&n'
(CR) -> '&r'
':' -> '&:'
All other characters are unchanged as they bear no special meaning.
