Chapter 7. Building IVR Applications with Lua
In the previous chapter, we discussed the basics of building Interactive Voice Response (IVR) applications using the built-in XML IVR engine. The XML IVR engine is useful for building simple IVR applications that are relatively static in nature.

One way is by utilizing the various scripting languages that have been integrated into FreeSWITCH. FreeSWITCH supports the following scripting languages for building voice applications:
- JavaScript
- Lua
- Perl
Any of the preceding languages can be used for building IVR applications. In this chapter we will focus on using Lua, a lightweight scripting ...
