v1.1.0 Stable
released this
2026-06-26 18:12:15 +00:00 | 3 commits to main since this releaseAdds TOML emission to the previously read-only library, completing the
encoding/json-style API.Added
Marshalling
Marshal(v any) ([]byte, error)— encode a struct ormap[string]Vvalue
to a TOML 1.0 document.EncoderandNewEncoder, mirroring theDecodershape for symmetry with
Unmarshal.Marshalerinterface (MarshalTOML() (any, error)) for types that need a
custom TOML shape; the returned value is encoded normally.- Struct fields are matched by
toml:"name"tag (case-insensitive fallback to
field name;toml:"-"skips). Anonymous (embedded) fields without a tag
are inlined. - Slices and arrays of structs or maps become
[[a]]arrays of tables; other
slices and arrays become TOML arrays. Empty or nil arrays of tables are
omitted; empty arrays of scalars emit askey = []. - Scalars encode as bool, int64, float64, string,
time.Time(offset
date-time),LocalDateTime,LocalDate, orLocalTime. time.Time,LocalDateTime,LocalDate, andLocalTimenow have
String()methods that return their TOML-canonical rendering
(zero-padded to nanosecond precision when a fractional second is present).
Encoding policy
The emitter groups fields at every TOML level: scalars first, then
sub-tables, then arrays of tables. Within each group the order matches struct
field declaration order, or sorted key order for maps. The output is
guaranteed to re-parse to an equivalent value tree viaParse, but is not
byte-identical to any input that produced the value — comments, whitespace,
map key order, and basic-vs-literal string quoting are not preserved. See
the "Encoding" section of the README for the full set of rules.Downloads

v1.0.0 Stable
released this
2026-06-20 10:24:03 +00:00 | 4 commits to main since this releaseFirst stable release: a dependency-free TOML 1.0 parser for Go that uses only
the standard library and passes the entire
toml-test suite
(185 valid and 371 invalid cases, 0 failures).Added
Parsing
Parse(data []byte) (map[string]any, error)— decode a TOML document into an
untyped tree.- Full TOML 1.0 syntax: comments; bare, quoted, and dotted keys; tables
([a.b]) and arrays of tables ([[a]]); basic and literal strings, including
multiline ("""/''') with escape sequences and line-ending backslash
trimming; integers in decimal, hex (0x), octal (0o), and binary (0b)
with_separators; floats with exponents andinf/nan; booleans;
offset/local date-times, dates, and times; arrays; and inline tables. - Distinct date-time types: offset date-times decode to
time.Time, while
LocalDateTime,LocalDate, andLocalTimerepresent the local variants. - Strict, spec-conformant validation that rejects invalid documents: leading
zeros, misplaced underscores, malformed floats and radix literals, control
characters in strings and comments, bare carriage returns, non-UTF-8 input,
out-of-range Unicode escapes, multiline strings used as keys, single-digit
date-time components, duplicate/overwriting inline-table keys, and the full
family of table redefinitions (header vs. header, header vs. dotted key,
array of tables vs. table, and dotted-key appends to defined tables).
Decoding
Unmarshal(data []byte, v any)— parse and map onto a struct or
map[string]anyvia reflection.toml:"name"field tags, case-insensitive name fallback, andtoml:"-"to
skip a field.DecoderwithDisallowUnknownFieldsfor strict decoding that rejects keys
without a destination field.SyntaxErrorcarrying the 1-based line of a malformed document.
