# Library features
- Header-only
- Supports the latest [TOML] release ([v1.0.0-rc.1]), 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
- First-class support for serializing to JSON
- Tested on Clang (6+), GCC (7+) and MSVC (VS2019)
- Tested on x64, x86 and ARM
<br>
# Basic usage
> ℹ _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>
#include <fstream> //required for toml::parse_file()
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 << std::endl;
if constexpr (toml::is_string<decltype(node)>)
do_something_with_string_values(node);
});
}
// re-serialize as TOML
std::cout << config << std::endl;
// re-serialize as JSON
std::cout << toml::json_formatter{ config } << std::endl;
```
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.
### 🍦 Single-header flavour
1. Drop `toml.hpp` wherever you like in your source tree
2. There is no step two
### 🍨 Regular flavour
1. Add `tomlplusplus/include` to your include paths
2. `#include <toml++/toml.h>`
## _"What about build system X, or package manager Y?"_
Currently there's support for use as a meson submodule. That's the extent of my knowledge in this area; clearly an area
of opportunity! If you would like me to add support for a particular build system or package manager please let me
know by making a [feature request]. Better still, if you have the skills and motivation to add support yourself, I'd
welcome a pull request with a smile and open arms!
### Conan
`toml++` is available through the [Conan-Center-Index](https://github.com/conan-io/conan-center-index). You simply need
to add `tomlplusplus/2.0.0` to your _conanfile_ to include this in your project. The default options are set for the
single-header flavour, however specifying the option `"multiple_headers": True` is available.
<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 | Default | Description |
|----------------------------|:--------------:|-----------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `TOML_HEADER_ONLY` | boolean | `1` | Disable this to explicitly control where toml++'s implementation is compiled (e.g. as part of a library). |
| `TOML_API` | define | undefined | API annotation to add to public symbols (e.g. `__declspec(dllexport)` on Windows). |
| `TOML_ASSERT(expr)` | function macro | `assert(expr)`<br>(or undefined) | Sets the assert function used by the library. |
| `TOML_CONFIG_HEADER` | string literal | undefined | Includes the given header file before the rest of the library. |
| `TOML_EXCEPTIONS` | boolean | per your compiler's settings | Sets whether the library uses exceptions. |
| `TOML_IMPLEMENTATION` | define | undefined | Define this to enable compilation of the library's implementation. Meaningless if `TOML_HEADER_ONLY` is `1`. |
| `TOML_LARGE_FILES` | boolean | `0` | Uses 32-bit integers for line and column indices (instead of 16-bit). |
| `TOML_OPTIONAL_TYPE` | type name | undefined | Overrides the `optional<T>` type used by the library if you need [something better than std::optional]. |
| `TOML_PARSER` | boolean | `1` | Disable this to prevent inclusion of the parser-related parts of the library if you don't need them. |
| `TOML_SMALL_FLOAT_TYPE` | type name | undefined | If your codebase has an additional 'small' float type (e.g. half-precision), this tells toml++ about it. |
| `TOML_SMALL_INT_TYPE` | type name | undefined | If your codebase has an additional 'small' integer type (e.g. 24-bits), this tells toml++ about it. |
| `TOML_UNRELEASED_FEATURES` | boolean | `0` | Enables support for [unreleased TOML language features] not yet part of a [numbered version]. |
| `TOML_WINDOWS_COMPAT` | boolean | `1` on Windows | Enables support for transparent conversion between wide and narrow strings in some places when building for Windows. |
> ℹ _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
- [#709]: Include an \xHH escape code sequence
> ℹ _`#define TOML_UNRELEASED_FEATURES 1` to enable these features (see [Configuration](#Configuration))._
### 🔹 **TOML v1.0.0-rc.1:**
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
### 🔹 **TOML v0.5.0:**
All features supported.
