TOML.js

Javascript implementation of a TOML parser. Browser-compatible.

What is TOML?

TOML is the drunken brainchild of Tom Prestom-Werner, a INI-inspired minimal alternative to YAML for configuration files.

# 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?

This becomes the object:

{
    title: "TOML Example",
    owner: {
        name: "Tom Preston-Werner",
        bio: "Github Cofounder & CEO\nLikes tater tots and beer.",
        dob: [object Date]
    }
}

Values are interpreted as String, Number, Date, Array and Object instances.

Install

npm install tomljs

Use

var fs   = require('fs')
  , toml = require('toml2')
  , file = fs.readFileSync('config.toml').toString()

var config = toml(file)

Build

git clone https://github.com/ricardobeat/toml.git
npm install
npm run-script watch

See Cakefile for the build/watch tasks.

Performance

Benchmark using test/test.toml:

TOMLjs: 5ms
toml: 8ms (fails to parse the key 'false')
toml-parser: 17ms (fails on deeply nested keys)

Test

Run npm test or mocha on the root folder.
