Tom's Obvious, Minimal Language (toml)

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"
]
