[asterisk-users] How does extensions.lua compares to extensions.conf ?
Hello, How does extensions.lua compares to extensions.conf or extensions.ael on stability, performance and features ? Would you recommand extensions.lua as an easy/easier way to access memcached, redis or equivalent ? Thoughs ? Comments ?

Extensions AEL and LUA don't get much action these days, I'm sure there are a few people that use them but extensions.conf has way more code coverage from a testing POV. Your better off using AGI if you want to leverage redis or memcached. -- Paul Belanger | PolyBeacon, Inc.

Some are used in conjunction with traditional dialplans and some are the only source of dialplans. They've always been rock solid. I actually find it easier to configure even a moderately complex dialplan than the traditional dialplan syntax. -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

If you're already Lua literate though, the samples from the Wiki can get you started quickly. -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Re: [asterisk-users] How does extensions.lua compares to extensions.conf ?
We use extensions.conf, AEL, and AGI scripts.Debugging AEL scripts can beinteresting, but worth it. I also like being able to program in a real language Our extensions.conf handles the incoming call initially, an AGI is then run which talks to the database and does the heavy lifting. It sets a bunch of channel variables and passes control back to the dialplan, in case something custom needs to be done. An AEL script with a few macros in it does the actual dialing and is called after the custom stuff is done.The AEL scripts are seldom changed. I'm not a fan of dialing from inside AGIs due to a traumatic experience trying that back in the 0.65 / 1.2 eras, all of that is handled in the AEL script. -Original Message- From: asterisk-users-boun...@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-boun...@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Steve Edwards Sent: Thursday, February 13, 2014 8:34 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] How does extensions.lua compares to extensions.conf ?
