Description : Go library for the TOML file format
go-toml v2 is a Go library for the TOML format.
It supports TOML (Tom's Obvious, Minimal Language) version v1.0.0.
.
Features:
.
Stdlib behavior
As much as possible, this library is designed to behave similarly
as the standard library's encoding/json.
.
Performance
While go-toml favors usability, it is written with performance in mind.
Most operations should not be shockingly slow.
.
Strict mode
Decoder can be set to "strict mode", which makes it error when some parts
of the TOML document was not prevent in the target structure.
This is a great way to check for typos.
.
Contextualized errors
When decoding errors occur, go-toml returns DecodeError), which contains
a human readable contextualized version of the error.
.
Local date and time support
TOML supports native local date/times. It allows to represent a given
date, time, or date-time without relation to a timezone or offset.
To support this use-case, go-toml provides LocalDate, LocalTime, and
LocalDateTime. Those types can be transformed to and from time.Time,
making them convenient yet unambiguous structures for their respective
TOML representation.
Reason for packaging: Needed by hugo (>= 0.87.0)
