This Go package provides a +reflection interface similar to Go's standard library `json` and `xml` +packages. This package also supports the `encoding.TextUnmarshaler` and +`encoding.TextMarshaler` interfaces so that you can define custom data +representations. (There is an example of this below.) + +Spec: https://github.com/toml-lang/toml + +Compatible with TOML version +[v0.4.0](https://github.com/toml-lang/toml/blob/master/versions/en/toml-v0.4.0.md) + +Documentation: https://godoc.org/github.com/BurntSushi/toml + +Installation: + +```bash +go get github.com/BurntSushi/toml +``` + +Try the toml validator: + +```bash +go get github.com/BurntSushi/toml/cmd/tomlv +tomlv some-toml-file.toml +``` + +[](https://travis-ci.org/BurntSushi/toml) [](https://godoc.org/github.com/BurntSushi/toml) + +### Testing + +This package passes all tests in +[toml-test](https://github.com/BurntSushi/toml-test) for both the decoder +and the encoder. + +### Examples + +This package works similarly to how the Go standard library handles `XML` +and `JSON`. Namely, data is loaded into Go values via reflection. + +For the simplest example, consider some TOML file as just a list of keys +and values: + +```toml +Age = 25 +Cats = [ "Cauchy", "Plato" ] +Pi = 3.14 +Perfection = [ 6, 28, 496, 8128 ] +DOB = 1987-07-05T05:45:00Z +``` + +Which could be defined in Go as: + +```go +type Config struct { + Age int + Cats []string + Pi float64 + Perfection []int + DOB time.Time // requires `import time` +} +``` + +And then decoded with: + +```go +var conf Config +if _, err := toml.Decode(tomlData, &conf); err != nil { + // handle error +} +``` + +You can also use struct tags if your struct field name doesn't map to a TOML +key value directly: + +```toml +some_key_NAME = "wat" +``` + +```go +type TOML struct { + ObscureKey string `toml:"some_key_NAME"` +} +``` + +### Using the `encoding.TextUnmarshaler` interface + +Here's an example that automatically parses duration strings into +`time.Duration` values: + +```toml +[[song]] +name = "Thunder Road" +duration = "4m49s" + +[[song]] +name = "Stairway to Heaven" +duration = "8m03s" +``` + +Which can be decoded with: + +```go +type song struct { + Name string + Duration duration +} +type songs struct { + Song []song +} +var favorites songs +if _, err := toml.Decode(blob, &favorites); err != nil { + log.Fatal(err) +} + +for _, s := range favorites.Song { + fmt.Printf("%s (%s)\n", s.Name, s.Duration) +} +``` + +And you'll also need a `duration` type that satisfies the +`encoding.TextUnmarshaler` interface: + +```go +type duration struct { + time.Duration +} + +func (d *duration) UnmarshalText(text []byte) error { + var err error + d.Duration, err = time.ParseDuration(string(text)) + return err +} +``` + +### More complex usage + +Here's an example of how to load the example from the official spec page: + +```toml +# This is a TOML document. Boom. + +title = "TOML Example" + +[owner] +name = "Tom Preston-Werner" +organization = "GitHub" +bio = "GitHub Cofounder & CEO\nLikes tater tots and beer." +dob = 1979-05-27T07:32:00Z # First class dates? Why not? + +[database] +server = "192.168.1.1" +ports = [ 8001, 8001, 8002 ] +connection_max = 5000 +enabled = true + +[servers] + + # You can indent as you please. Tabs or spaces.
