XUL(auXiliary Utility Library) is a collection of utility functions and classes in c++, which provides facilities such as networking, logging, input/output stream, serialization, option parsing, encoding, etc, and also the corresponding lua bindings.

• networking: a small asynchronous network/io framework based on boost.asio
  It contains implementations for udp/tcp socket, http server/client/connection and other functionalities.
• logging: a tiny logging library
  The logging process can be customized through startup options or configuration file, and the parameters can also be modified at runtime. The logging messages can be output to console, or a rolling file, or system log(like android's log).
• io/serialization: input and output stream, data serialization...
  It could be useful when implementing protocols.
• system utilities and wrappers of os functionalities such as path, file, file_system, os module, os process, pipe, stack backtracing, etc.

• httpsvr
  A simple http server which demonstrates how file download and file upload are implemented by using xul's networking framework.

• lua bindings
  xlua is a lua interpreter with xul embedded.
  luaxul is a lua extension library.
  httpsvr.lua demonstrates how to implement file download and file upload in lua by using xul's lua bindings.
