# Library features
- Header-only
- Supports the latest [TOML] release ([v1.0.0]), plus optional support for some [unreleased TOML language features]
- C++17 (plus some C++20 features where available, e.g. experimental support for char8_t strings)
- Proper UTF-8 handling (incl. BOM)
- Works with or without exceptions
- Doesn't require RTTI
- Support for serializing to JSON and YAML
- Tested on Clang (6+), GCC (7+) and MSVC (VS2019, VS2022)
- Tested on x64, x86 and ARM
<br>
# Basic usage
> ℹ&#xFE0F; _The following example favours brevity. If you'd prefer full API documentation and lots of specific code snippets
instead, visit the project [homepage]_
Given a [TOML] file `configuration.toml` containing the following:
```toml
[library]
name = "toml++"
authors = ["Mark Gillard <mark.gillard@outlook.com.au>"]
[dependencies]
cpp = 17
```
Reading it in C++ is easy with toml++:
```cpp
#include <toml.hpp>
auto config = toml::parse_file( "configuration.toml" );
// get key-value pairs
std::string_view library_name = config["library"]["name"].value_or(""sv);
std::string_view library_author = config["library"]["authors"][0].value_or(""sv);
int64_t depends_on_cpp_version = config["dependencies"]["cpp"].value_or(0);
// modify the data
config.insert_or_assign("alternatives", toml::array{
"cpptoml",
"toml11",
"Boost.TOML"
});
// iterate & visit over the data
for (auto&& [k, v] : config)
{
v.visit([](auto& node) noexcept
{
std::cout << node << "\n";
if constexpr (toml::is_string<decltype(node)>)
do_something_with_string_values(node);
});
}
// re-serialize as TOML
std::cout << config << "\n";
// re-serialize as JSON
std::cout << toml::json_formatter{ config } << "\n";
// re-serialize as YAML
std::cout << toml::yaml_formatter{ config } << "\n";
```
You'll find some more code examples in the `examples` directory, and plenty more as part of the [API documentation].

# Adding toml++ to your project
`toml++` comes in two flavours: Single-header and Regular. The API is the same for both.
### 🍦&#xFE0F; Single-header flavour
1. Drop `toml.hpp` wherever you like in your source tree
2. There is no step two
### 🍨&#xFE0F; Regular flavour
1. Add `tomlplusplus/include` to your include paths
2. `#include <toml++/toml.h>`
### Conan
Add `tomlplusplus/3.0.1` to your conanfile.
### DDS
Add `tomlpp` to your `package.json5`, e.g.:
```
depends: [
'tomlpp^3.0.1',
]
```
> ℹ&#xFE0F; _[What is DDS?](https://dds.pizza/)_
### Vcpkg
```
vcpkg install tomlplusplus
```
### CMake FetchContent
```
include(FetchContent)
FetchContent_Declare(
tomlplusplus
GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/marzer/tomlplusplus.git
GIT_TAG v3.0.1
)
FetchContent_MakeAvailable(tomlplusplus)
```
> ℹ&#xFE0F; _[What is FetchContent?](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/module/FetchContent.html)_
### Other environments and package managers
`toml++` is a fairly new project and I'm not up-to-speed with all of the available packaging and integration options
in the C++ ecosystem. I'm also a cmake novice, for better or worse. If there's an integration option missing be
assured that I fully support it being added, and welcome [pull requests](./CONTRIBUTING.md)!
### What about dependencies?
If you just want to consume `toml++` as a regular library then you don't have any dependencies to worry about.
There's a few test-related dependencies to be aware of if you're working on the library, though.
See [CONTRIBUTING] for information.
<br>
# Configuration
A number of configurable options are exposed in the form of preprocessor `#defines` Most likely you
won't need to mess with these at all, but if you do, set them before including toml++.
| Option | Type | Description | Default |
|-----------------------------------|:--------------:|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------|
| `TOML_ASSERT(expr)` | function macro | Sets the assert function used by the library. | `assert()` |
| `TOML_CONFIG_HEADER` | string literal | Includes the given header file before the rest of the library. | undefined |
| `TOML_ENABLE_FORMATTERS` | boolean | Enables the formatters. Set to `0` if you don't need them to improve compile times and binary size. | `1` |
| `TOML_ENABLE_PARSER` | boolean | Enables the parser. Set to `0` if you don't need it to improve compile times and binary size. | `1` |
| `TOML_ENABLE_UNRELEASED_FEATURES` | boolean | Enables support for [unreleased TOML language features]. | `0` |
| `TOML_ENABLE_WINDOWS_COMPAT` | boolean | Enables support for transparent conversion between wide and narrow strings. | `1` on Windows |
| `TOML_EXCEPTIONS` | boolean | Sets whether the library uses exceptions. | per compiler settings |
| `TOML_EXPORTED_CLASS` | define | API export annotation to add to classes. | undefined |
| `TOML_EXPORTED_MEMBER_FUNCTION` | define | API export annotation to add to non-static class member functions. | undefined |
| `TOML_EXPORTED_FREE_FUNCTION` | define | API export annotation to add to free functions. | undefined |
| `TOML_EXPORTED_STATIC_FUNCTION` | define | API export annotation to add to static functions. | undefined |
| `TOML_HEADER_ONLY` | boolean | Disable this to explicitly control where toml++'s implementation is compiled (e.g. as part of a library).| `1` |
| `TOML_IMPLEMENTATION` | define | Define this to enable compilation of the library's implementation when `TOML_HEADER_ONLY` == `0`. | undefined |
| `TOML_OPTIONAL_TYPE` | type name | Overrides the `optional<T>` type used by the library if you need [something better than std::optional]. | undefined |
| `TOML_SMALL_FLOAT_TYPE` | type name | If your codebase has a custom 'small float' type (e.g. half-precision), this tells toml++ about it. | undefined |
| `TOML_SMALL_INT_TYPE` | type name | If your codebase has a custom 'small integer' type (e.g. 24-bits), this tells toml++ about it. | undefined |
> ℹ&#xFE0F; _A number of these have ABI implications; the library uses inline namespaces to prevent you from accidentally
linking incompatible combinations together._

# TOML Language Support
At any given time the library aims to support whatever the [most recently-released version] of TOML is, with opt-in
support for a number of unreleased features from the [TOML master] and some sane cherry-picks from the
[TOML issues list] where the discussion strongly indicates inclusion in a near-future release.
The library advertises the most recent numbered language version it fully supports via the preprocessor
defines `TOML_LANG_MAJOR`, `TOML_LANG_MINOR` and `TOML_LANG_PATCH`.
### **Unreleased language features:**
- [#516]: Allow newlines and trailing commas in inline tables
- [#562]: Allow hex floating-point values
- [#644]: Support `+` in key names
- [#671]: Local time of day format should support `09:30` as opposed to `09:30:00`
- [#687]: Relax bare key restrictions to allow additional unicode characters
- [#790]: Include an `\e` escape code sequence (shorthand for `\u001B`)
- [#796]: Include an `\xHH` escape code sequence
- [#891]: Allow non-English scripts for unquoted keys
> ℹ&#xFE0F; _`#define TOML_ENABLE_UNRELEASED_FEATURES 1` to enable these features (see [Configuration](#Configuration))._
### 🔹&#xFE0F; **TOML v1.0.0:**
All features supported, including:
- [#356]: Allow leading zeros in the exponent part of a float
- [#567]: Control characters are not permitted in comments
- [#571]: Allow raw tabs inside strings
- [#665]: Make arrays heterogeneous
- [#766]: Allow comments before commas in arrays
### 🔹&#xFE0F; **TOML v0.5.0:**
All features supported.
