c++11 header-only toml parser depending only on c++11 standard library.
compatible to TOML v0.4.0.
## How to use
Just include the file after adding correct include path.
```cpp
#include <toml11/toml.hpp>
int main()
{
/* do something ... */
}
```
### decoding toml file
The only thing you have to do is passing filename to `toml::parse` function.
```cpp
const std::string fname("sample.toml");
const auto data = toml::parse(fname);
```
In the case of file open error, it will throw `std::runtime_error`.
You can pass also `stream` to `toml::parse` function.
```cpp
std::ifstream ifs("sample.toml");
assert(ifs.good());
const auto data = toml::parse(ifs);
```
If there are syntax error in the toml file,
`toml::parse` will throw `toml::syntax_error`.
#### toml::get()
Then you can obtain the various value from the `data` using `toml::get` function.
```toml
answer = 42
pi = 3.14
numbers = [1,2,3]
time = 1979-05-27T07:32:00Z
[tab]
key = "value"
```
``` cpp
const auto answer = toml::get<std::int64_t>(data.at("answer"));
const auto pi = toml::get<double>(data.at("pi"));
const auto numbers = toml::get<std::vector<int>>(data.at("numbers"));
const auto timepoint = toml::get<std::chrono::system_clock::time_point>(data.at("time"));
const auto tab = toml::get<toml::Table>(data.at("tab"));
const auto key = toml::get<std::string>(tab.at("key"));
```
You can set any kind of `container` class to obtain `toml::Array` except for
`map`-like class.
``` cpp
const auto vc = toml::get<std::vector<int>>(data.at("numbers"));
const auto ls = toml::get<std::list<int>>(data.at("numbers"));
const auto dq = toml::get<std::deque<int>>(data.at("numbers"));
const auto ar = toml::get<std::array<int, 3>>(data.at("numbers"));
// if size of data.at("numbers") is larger than 3, it will throw toml::type_error
// because std::array is not resizable.
```
If the type you passed as a template parameter is incorrect,
it will throw `toml::type_error`.
``` cpp
const auto wrong1 = toml::get<bool>(data.at("integer")); // exception thrown!
const auto wrong2 = toml::get<float>(data.at("integer")); // ditto
const auto wrong3 = toml::get<toml::Datetime>(data.at("array")); // ditto
```
Although `toml::get` is convenient, it has additional copy-cost because it
copies data contained in `toml::value` to user-specified type.
Of course in some case this overhead is not ignorable.
You can get reference pointing to contained value using `toml::value::cast()` like this.
``` cpp
const auto& pi = data.at("pi").cast<toml::value_t::Float>();
const auto& tab = data.at("tab").cast<toml::value_t::Table>();
const auto& numbers = data.at("numbers").cast<toml::value_t::Array>();
```
Unfortunately, if you use `toml::value::cast` to get an array, you would need to
`cast` each element in `toml::Array` because `toml::Array` is represented as
an array of `toml::value`.
```cpp
const auto& num0 = numbers.at(0).cast<toml::value_t::Integer>();
const auto& num1 = numbers.at(1).cast<toml::value_t::Integer>();
const auto& num2 = numbers.at(2).cast<toml::value_t::Integer>();
```
#### toml::get\_or
You can also set default value for `toml::get`.
```cpp
toml::Table data; // empty table!
const auto value1 = toml::get_or(data, "key1", 42); // value1 => int 42.
toml::Integer i(123);
const auto value2 = toml::get_or(data, "key1", i); // value2 => toml::Integer 42.
```
#### toml::value\_t
When you don't know the exact type of toml-value, you can get `enum` type from
`toml::value`.
```cpp
int i;
double d;
std::string s;
std::vector<int> a;
const auto t = data.at("something").type();
switch(t)
{
case toml::value_t::Integer: i = toml::get<int>(data.at("something")); break;
case toml::value_t::Float : d = toml::get<double>(data.at("something")); break;
case toml::value_t::String : s = toml::get<std::string>(data.at("something")); break;
case toml::value_t::Array : a = toml::get<std::vector<int>>(data.at("something")); break;
default : throw std::runtime_error("unexpected type : " + toml::stringize(t));
}
```
Okey, but it is painful to write `switch-case` for many time.
#### toml::from\_toml()
The more sophisticated way is using `toml::from_toml` and `std::tie`.
```cpp
int i = 0;
double d = 0.;
std::string s;
std::vector<int> a;
toml::from_toml(std::tie(i, d, s, a), data.at("something"));
```
Here, only matched value will be filled.
The others are left intact after calling `from_toml`.
It should be noted that `toml::from_toml` returns as usual even if there are no
matched type.
`from_toml` can be used also for single type.
```cpp
int i;
toml::from_toml(i, data.at("something"));
```
Unlike `toml::get`, `toml::from_toml` does not require to specify the type
through the template argument because the type can be deduced from argument.
#### toml::value
In toml, `Array` is capable of having `Array` s and each of them possibly have
different types like this.
```toml
array_of_array = [[1,2,3,4,5], ["foo", "bar", "baz"]]
```
In this case, you can use `toml::value` directly.
```cpp
// use toml::value in a container
const auto a = toml::get<std::vector<toml::value>>(data.at("array_of_array"));
// or you can use default toml::Array.
const auto a_ = toml::get<toml::Array>(data.at("array_of_array"));
// you can obtain values from toml::value in the same way as described above.
const auto ns = toml::get<std::vector<std::int64_t>>(a.at(0));
const auto ss = toml::get<std::vector<std::string>>(a.at(1));
```
#### Array of Table
Of course, you can obtain `array of table` in the same way.
```toml
array_of_inline_table = [{key = "value1"}, {key = "value2"}, {key = "value3"}]
[[array_of_table]]
key = "value4"
[[array_of_table]]
key = "value5"
[[array_of_table]]
key = "value6"
```
```cpp
const auto aot1 = toml::get<std::vector<toml::Table>>(data.at("array_of_inline_table"))
const auto aot2 = toml::get<std::vector<toml::Table>>(data.at("array_of_table"))
```
## Documentation
The toml types and corresponding `enum` name are listed in the table below.
`value_t` is a scoped-enum defined in the namespace toml.
| toml-type | c++ type | enum |
| --------- | ---------------------------------------------- | ------------------------- |
| Boolean | `bool` | `toml::value_t::Boolean` |
| Integer | `std::int64_t` | `toml::value_t::Integer` |
| Float | `double` | `toml::value_t::Float` |
| String | `std::string` | `toml::value_t::String` |
| Datetime | `toml::Datetime` | `toml::value_t::Datetime` |
| Array | `std::vector<toml::value>` | `toml::value_t::Array` |
| Table | `std::unordered_map<std::string, toml::value>` | `toml::value_t::Table` |
`Datetime` is the `struct` that is defined in this library.
Because `std::chrono::system_clock::time_point` is a __time point__, not capable
of representing a Local Time independent from a specific day.
For user-convenience, `toml::Datetime` is _implicitly_ convertible to
`std::chrono::system_clock::time_point`. If `toml::Datetime` does not have any
Date information, the information will be generated from
`std::chrono::system_clock::now()` when cast is performed.
The definition of Datetime struct is below.
```cpp
namespace toml
{
template<typename uintT, typename intT>
struct basic_datetime
{
uintT year; // since 0.
uintT month; // [1-12]
uintT day; // [1-31]
uintT hour; // [0-23]
uintT minite; // [0-59]
uintT second; // [0-59]
uintT millisecond // [0-999]
uintT microsecond // [0-999]
intT offset_hour; // [-12 - +12]
intT offset_minute; // [-59 - +59]
};
typedef basic_datetime<unsigned, int> Datetime;
}
```
It must be noted that the range of some values in `basic_datetime` is different
from `std::tm`. For example, month is in the range of `[1,12]` and year starts
from 0 (not 1900).
