 Using LOOP, this is very simple.. :)

local StringStream = require "loop.serial.StringStream"


function encode( _message )
    local stream = StringStream()
    stream:put( _message )
    return stream
end

function decode( _data )
    local stream = StringStream{ data = tostring( _data ) }
    local potentialmessage = stream:get()
    return potentialmessage
end
