What the library does

Rather than posting the source code of the libraries, we should write what the library does, as the majority of users do not care about the source code of the libraries.

Source code ought to be put somewhere. Perhaps not on this page, but visible somewhere for users that are interested. How exactly do you go about getting the source?

Perhaps we can make a subpage /Source which houses the source code for all official libraries.

The only thing deterring me from this is the fact that the wiki does not see RbxUtility/Source as a subpage of RbxUtility - subpages are disabled by default in the article namespace.

Why don't one of us (who understand this kind of thing) figure it out, then we can put what it does. For now, I have no idea what it does, so it's better to have the source code then nothing. - Quenty (talk • January 4)

Hum, we all know what this does, Quenty... It's a library that provides common functions for various uses. It's not like it's obscure or anything, there's even an help function and everything.. The JSON encoder/decoder is just one of the functions and is used to transforms tables to strings and transform them back to tables, to make it possible to save tables as strings, which can be useful with data persistence, for example. If anything, we should include instructions to get the source code, but not the source code itself.
