CGILua - Tool for creating dynamic Web pages and manipulating data from Web forms

CGILua allows the separation of logic and data handling from the generation of pages, making it easy to develop web applications with Lua. CGILua can be used with a variety of Web servers and, for each server, with different launchers. A launcher is responsible for the interaction of CGILua and the Web server, for example using ISAPI on IIS or mod_lua on Apache.

Copas - Coroutine Oriented Portable Asynchronous Services

Copas is a dispatcher based on coroutines that can be used by TCP/IP servers. It uses LuaSocket as the interface with the TCP/IP stack. A server registered with Copas should provide a handler for requests and use Copas socket functions to send the response. Copas loops through requests and invokes the corresponding handlers. For a full implementation of a Copas HTTP server you can refer to Xavante as an example.

Cosmo - Safe templates for Lua

Cosmo is a "safe templates" engine. It allows you to fill nested templates, providing many of the advantages of Turing-complete template engines, without without the downside of allowing arbitrary code in the templates.

Coxpcall - Coroutine safe xpcall and pcall

Encapsulates the protected calls with a coroutine based loop, so errors can be dealed without the usual Lua 5.x pcall/xpcall issues with coroutines yielding inside the call to pcall or xpcall.
