Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

banner Releases C++17 TOML MIT license ci Mentioned in Awesome C++ Sponsor Gitter

toml++ homepage

By Mark Gillard.

Installation

Run:

$ npm i tomlplusplus.cxx

And then include toml.hpp as follows:

#include "node_modules/tomlplusplus.cxx/toml.hpp"

Library features

  • Header-only (optional!)
  • Module support
  • Supports the latest TOML release (v1.0.0), plus optional support for some unreleased TOML features
  • Passes all tests in the toml-test suite
  • Supports serializing to JSON and YAML
  • Proper UTF-8 handling (incl. BOM)
  • C++17 (plus some C++20 features where available, e.g. experimental support for char8_t strings)
  • Doesn't require RTTI
  • Works with or without exceptions
  • Tested on Clang (8+), GCC (8+) and MSVC (VS2019)
  • Tested on x64, x86 and ARM

Basic usage

ℹ️ 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:

[library]
name = "toml++"
authors = ["Mark Gillard <[email protected]>"]

[dependencies]
cpp = 17

Reading it in C++ is easy with toml++:

#include <toml++/toml.hpp>

using namespace std::literals;

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"
});

// use a visitor to iterate over heterogenous data
config.for_each([](auto& key, auto& value)
{
    std::cout << value << "\n";
    if constexpr (toml::is_string<decltype(value)>)
        do_something_with_string_values(value);
});

// you can also iterate more 'traditionally' using a ranged-for
for (auto&& [k, v] : config)
{
    // ...
}

// 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.

🍦️ Single-header flavour

  1. Drop toml.hpp wherever you like in your source tree
  2. There is no step two

🍨️ Regular flavour

  1. Clone the repository
  2. Add tomlplusplus/include to your include paths, or for optional module support add tomlplusplus/modules as well and enable TOMLPLUSPLUS_BUILD_MODULES
  3. #include <toml++/toml.hpp> (or import tomlplusplus;)

Conan

Add tomlplusplus/3.4.0 to your conanfile.

DDS

Add tomlpp to your package.json5, e.g.:

depends: [
    'tomlpp^3.4.0',
]

ℹ️ What is DDS?

Tipi.build

tomlplusplus can be easily used in tipi.build projects by adding the following entry to your .tipi/deps:

{
	"marzer/tomlplusplus": {}
}

Vcpkg

vcpkg install tomlplusplus

Meson

You can install the wrap with:

meson wrap install tomlplusplus

After that, you can use it like a regular dependency:

tomlplusplus_dep = dependency('tomlplusplus')

You can also add it as a subproject directly.

Other environments and package managers

The C++ tooling ecosystem is a fractal nightmare of unbridled chaos so naturally I'm not up-to-speed with all of the available packaging and integration options. I'm always happy to see new ones supported, though! If there's some integration you'd like to see and have the technical know-how to make it happen, feel free to make a pull request.

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.

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_CALLCONV | define | Calling convention to apply to exported free/static functions. | undefined | | TOML_CONFIG_HEADER | string literal | Includes the given header file before the rest of the library. | undefined | | TOML_DISABLE_CONDITIONAL_NOEXCEPT_LAMBDA | boolean | Disables the conditional noexcept's of internal lambda's. Needed for MSVC's "legacy lambda processor". | 0 | | 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_FLOAT16 | boolean | Enables support for the built-in _Float16 type. | per compiler settings | | 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 |

ℹ️ 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

ℹ️ #define TOML_ENABLE_UNRELEASED_FEATURES 1 to enable these features (see Configuration).

🔹️ 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

🔹️ TOML v0.5.0:

All features supported.
