Class CoerceLuaToJava

java.lang.Object
  org.luaj.vm2.lib.jse.CoerceLuaToJava

public class CoerceLuaToJava
extends java.lang.Object

Helper class to coerce values from lua to Java within the luajava library.

This class is primarily used by the LuajavaLib, but can also be used directly when working with Java/lua bindings.

To coerce to specific Java values, generally the toType() methods on LuaValue may be used:

• LuaValue.toboolean()
• LuaValue.tobyte()
• LuaValue.tochar()
• LuaValue.toshort()
• LuaValue.toint()
• LuaValue.tofloat()
• LuaValue.todouble()
• LuaValue.tojstring()
• LuaValue.touserdata()
• LuaValue.touserdata(Class)

For data in lua tables, the various methods on LuaTable can be used directly to convert data to something more useful.
