This module provides simple value serialization.
- `serialization.serialize(value: any except functions[, pretty:boolean]): string`
Generates a string from an object that can be parsed again using `serialization.unserialize`. The generated output is Lua code. Supports basic types (nil, boolean, number, string) and tables without cycles (will error out when cycles are detected, unless in `pretty` print mode). Properly handles NaN values and infinity.
The `pretty` mode can be used to generate output for display to the user, this output will in most circumstances not be readable with `serialization.unserialize`.
This function can be useful for sending messages via a network card.
- `serialization.unserialize(value: string): any`
Restores an object previously saved with `serialization.serialize`.
