TOML is a configuration file format that is easy to read due to obvious semantics which aims to be "minimal". TOML is designed to map unambiguously to a hash table.
"TOML", the name, is an acronym for "Tom's Obvious, Minimal Language" referring to its creator: Tom Preston-Werner.
TOML is used in a number of software projects and is implemented in a large number of programming languages
TOML's syntax largely consists of key = "value" pairs, [section names], and #comments.
It specifies a list of supported data types: String, Integer, Float, Boolean, Datetime, Array, and Table.
