Module toml
ballerina/toml Ballerina library
Overview
This module provides APIs to convert a TOML configuration file to map<json>, and vice-versa.
Since the parser is following LL(1) grammar, it follows a non-recursive predictive parsing algorithm which operates in a linear time complexity.
For information on the operations, which you can perform with the toml module, see the below Functions.
Functions
readFile
function readFile(string filePath, *ReadConfig config) returns map<json>|ErrorParses a TOML file into a Ballerina map object.
Parameters
- filePath string - Path to the toml file
- config *ReadConfig - Configuration for reading a TOML file
readString
function readString(string tomlString, *ReadConfig config) returns map<json>|ErrorParses a Ballerina string of TOML content into a Ballerina map object.
Parameters
- tomlString string - TOML content
- config *ReadConfig - Configuration for reading a TOML file
writeFile
function writeFile(string filePath, map<json> tomlStructure, *WriteConfig config) returns Error?Writes the TOML structure to a file.
Parameters
- filePath string - Path to the file
- tomlStructure map<json> - Structure to be written to the file
- config *WriteConfig - Configurations for writing a TOML file
Return Type
- Error? - An error on failure
writeString
function writeString(map<json> tomlStructure, *WriteConfig config) returns string[]|ErrorConverts the TOML structure to an array of strings.
Parameters
- tomlStructure map<json> - Structure to be written to the file
- config *WriteConfig - Configurations for writing a TOML file
Records
toml: ReadConfig
Configurations for reading a TOML document.
Fields
- parseOffsetDateTime boolean(default true) - If set, then offset date time is converted to Ballerina time:Utc
toml: WriteConfig
Configurations for writing a TOML document.
Fields
- indentationPolicy int(default 2) - Number of spaces for an indentation
- allowDottedKeys boolean(default true) - If set, dotted keys are used instead of standard tables where applicable.
