Isn't that just a tortuous way of coding something that Lua can do much more conveniently? print [[{ "hello": "world" }]] Not if CR-LF must not be normalized (e.g. binary data or fixed format like HT

First, a small note: the last line in this script is not reliable. You are creating a lot of garbage there, with the collector freeing them at unknown points. A single "random" sample from that usag
