About
toml 1) is a configuration file format that aimed to be the most human readable (than YAML Ain’t Markup Language (YAML) …)
Good to know
- It doesn't permit top-level arrays or floats, so it cannot directly serialize some data.
- There is also no standard identifying the start or end of a TOML file, which can complicate sending it through a stream.
These details must be negotiated on the application layer.
Example
# This is a TOML document.
title = "TOML Example"
[owner]
name = "Tom Preston-Werner"
dob = 1979-05-27T07:32:00-08:00 # First class dates
[database]
server = "192.168.1.1"
ports = [ 8000, 8001, 8002 ]
connection_max = 5000
enabled = true
[servers]
# Indentation (tabs and/or spaces) is allowed but not required
[servers.alpha]
ip = "10.0.0.1"
dc = "eqdc10"
[servers.beta]
ip = "10.0.0.2"
dc = "eqdc10"
[clients]
data = [ ["gamma", "delta"], [1, 2] ]
# Line breaks are OK when inside arrays
hosts = [
"alpha",
"omega"
]
