How to return a table in your own Peripheral?

Since the answers present here in the forum seem to be outdated/diffuse and the official Wiki seems to have 0 information on that and the API does not mention it as well (at least I could not find it): How can I return a table in the callMethod(…) function for a custom Peripheral? I tried using a Hashmap but it does not give back a table, it gives more like a String with several lines.

Can you post your code? Returning a map should work correctly.

That gives something like

{
    Keridos = 7
}

instead of a table

Your code is correct.

If you are running this in the "lua" program, then if will format all tables like that to allow easier debugging. eg:

> a = { hello = "foo", world = "bar" }
> a
{
   hello = "foo",
   world = "bar"
}

You should still be able to use it as a table.

ah thats new then. thanks.
