tomlplusplus VS bomba

Unless you want to make your own config file parser as an exercise (which is a good idea) I'd recommend using toml++.

It's a public repo - this one: https://github.com/marzer/tomlplusplus but thank you

For a live demo, see the toml++ homepage: https://marzer.github.io/tomlplusplus/

Added bonus, tomlplusplus is a solid C++ implementation, actively updated, and easy to drop into a project (header only, CMake, vcpkg, Conan, etc.). Very easy to use for what I've needed.

I use them in toml++ to store the path of the source document for all the data nodes parsed from that document. Storing it as a separate std::string allocation for every single object would have been very wasteful, and the alternative would have been to make an overall document class that owned everything, which I didn't want to do, so shared_ptr was a good compromise.

toml++ was both my first 'public'/open-source project, and my first ever attempt at a parser. There's a few things I'd do differently now if I were to write it from scratch, but I've learned a lot along the way (particularly about making things build 'clean' on multiple platforms).

Library for implementing serialisation and Remote Procedure Calls with minimal amount of code (usable, but there are some bugs and some useful features are not implemented yet)
