Description

JPType is a small but very useful pack allowing you to know the type of any LUA variable.

Like LUA variables are untyped, they can contain any value, that's sometimes a problem when trying to do operation between 2 incompatible variables or when passing a parameter with a wrong type to a function of the API

Thanks to JPType, you can now know what is the type of a variable, for instance string, boolean, number etc.

JPType is available for free!
