TOML
A Ruby parser for TOML, built on parslet.
This is far superior to YAML and JSON because it doesn't suck. Really it doesn't.
Usage
Install this library:
gem "toml", "~> 0.3.0"gem install "toml"It's simple, really.
content = <<-TOML
# Hello, this is an example.
[things]
other = "things"
what = 900000
TOML
parser = TOML::Parser.new(content).parsed
# => { "things" => { "other" => "things", "what" => 900000 } }You can also use the same API as YAML if you'd like:
TOML.load("thing = 9")
# => {"thing" => 9}
TOML.load_file("my_file.toml")
# => {"whatever" => "keys"}In case a syntax error occurs, the parser will raise a Parslet::ParseFailed exception.
There's also a beta feature for generating a TOML file from a Ruby hash. Please note this will likely not give beautiful output right now.
hash = {
"integer" => 1,
"float" => 3.14159,
"true" => true,
"false" => false,
"string" => "hi",
"array" => [[1], [2], [3]],
"key" => {
"group" => {
"value" => "lol"
}
}
}
doc = TOML::Generator.new(hash).body
# doc will be a string containing a proper TOML document.Contributors
