# TOML

This module parse TOML files. It follows as much as possible the
[TOML specs](https://github.com/toml-lang/toml). Be sure to read the supported
types as not every specs is supported at the moment and the handling in
TypeScript side is a bit different.

### :warning: Warning

#### String

- Regex : Due to the spec, there is no flag to detect regex properly
  in a TOML declaration. So the regex is stored as string.

#### Integer

For **Binary** / **Octal** / **Hexadecimal** numbers,
they are stored as string to be not interpreted as Decimal.

#### Local Time

Because local time does not exist in JavaScript, the local time is stored as a string.

#### Inline Table

Inline tables are supported but nested inline property name are **not**. See below:

```toml
animal = { type = { name = "pug" } } # Supported
animal = { type.name = "pug" }
# not supported. Will output { "animal" : {"type.name":"pug"} }
```

#### Array of Tables

At the moment only simple declarations like below are supported:

```toml
[[bin]]
name = "deno"
path = "cli/main.rs"

[[bin]]
name = "deno_core"
path = "src/foo.rs"

[[nib]]
name = "node"
path = "not_found"
```

will output:

```json
{
  "bin": [
    { "name": "deno", "path": "cli/main.rs" },
    { "name": "deno_core", "path": "src/foo.rs" }
  ],
  "nib": [{ "name": "node", "path": "not_found" }]
}
```

## Usage

```ts
import { parseFile, parse } from "./parser.ts";

const tomlObject = parseFile("file.toml");

const tomlString = 'foo.bar = "Deno"';
const tomlObject22 = parse(tomlString);
```
