sol |version|
=============
*a fast, simple C++ and Lua Binding*


When you need to hit the ground running with Lua and C++, `sol`_ is the go-to framework for high-performance binding with an easy to use API.

"I need feature X, maybe you have it?"
--------------------------------------
Take a look at the :doc:`Features<features>` page: it links to much of the API. You can also just straight up browse the :doc:`api<api/api-top>` or ease in with the :doc:`tutorials<tutorial/tutorial-top>`. To know more about the implementation for usertypes, see :doc:`here<usertypes>` To know how function arguments are handled, see :ref:`this note<function-argument-handling>`. Don't see a feature you want? Send inquiries for support for a particular abstraction to the `issues`_ tracker.


the basics:

.. note::
	The code below *and* more examples can be found in the `examples directory`_

helping out
-----------

You can support sol2 development by `donating here`_. This is a time-consuming effort, so individuals who donate get to:

- steer the direction and time spent on sol
- get a role on the Discord server
- get their name put up in the CONTRIBUTORS list
- put something of their choice on sol2's README or the documentation's front page

You can also help out the library by submitting pull requests to fix anything or add anything you think would be helpful! This includes making small, useful examples of something you haven't seen, or fixing typos and bad code in the documentation.

Finally, `come join in Discord`_!
