Indefinite-Length Array

local u = require'ubjson'

s:write(u.open_array())
...
s:write(u.encode(element))
...
s:write(u.close_array())

Indefinite-Length Map

local u = require'ubjson'

s:write(u.open_object())
...
s:write(u.encode_name(key))
s:write(u.encode(value))
...
s:write(u.open_object())

No-Op

Receiver

The function decoder accepts a compatible ltn12.source source.

A source is a function that produces data, chunk by chunk. See http://lua-users.org/wiki/FiltersSourcesAndSinks.

local u = require'ubjson'
local ltn12 = require'ltn12'
src = ltn12.source.file(io.open('file', 'r'))
for _, v in u.decoder(src) do
    print(v)
end

-- when only one value
local _, v = u.decoder(src)()
