TOML is a file format for configuration files with a focus on easy readability, which should be guaranteed by simplified semantics.

TOML aims to be easy to parse and unambiguously converted into an associative data field . The specification is open source , the project is maintained in particular by the community. The acronym TomL stands for " T om's O bvious, M inimally L anguage" which on Tom Preston-Werner , one of the GitHub -Mitgründer, refers. TOML is used by a number of software projects such as Cargo or GitLab and is already implemented in many programming languages.

syntax

The syntax of TOML is similar to that of .INI files and consists primarily of schluessel = "wert"-pairs, [Abschnittsnamen]and # Kommentaren.

According to the specification, the following data types are supported: String, Integer, Float, Boolean, Datetime, Array and Table.
