Ox is a lightweight, asynchronous, callback-based server library for developing fast servers, web applications, or data services using LuaJIT.

The Ox1 branch is a functional event based server and client for both Lua and LuaJIT. Requires nixio, json4lua, luazlib, luahttp-parser. The current branch reduced dependencies to nixio, but body parsing remained incomplete. Other branches moved the server to the LuaJIT FFI and eliminated intermediate dependencies. A new LuaJIT only repository or master branch should be released on November 3rd, with an altered API and body parsing. Event sources should include tcp, udp, unix datagrams, inotify.
