tomlplusplus VS toml

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).

Black uses by default the pyproject.toml file. This file contains a section for each different tool we want to use. The use of a configuration file like pyproject.toml is quite a good choice and helps the contributors to use the same tools and configurations you're using.

> I don't think even though TOML has some official spec

Read it on https://toml.io/ (Full spec on upper-right… with its evolutions up to final 1.00 version).

ini2toml which automatically translates .ini/.cfg files into TOML

toml 1.1 will allow non-ascii in keys (and multi-line inline tables)

What do you think of https://toml.io ?

TOML built-in support
