  Description     : toml11 is a C++11  (or later) header-only toml parser/encoder depending only on C++ standard library.

- It is compatible to the latest version of TOML v1.0.0.
- It is one of the most TOML standard compliant libraries, tested with the language agnostic test suite for TOML parsers by BurntSushi.
- It shows highly informative error messages. You can see the error messages about invalid files at CircleCI.
- It has configurable container. You can use any random-access containers and key-value maps as backend containers.
- It optionally preserves comments without any overhead.
- It has configurable serializer that supports comments, inline tables, literal strings and multiline strings.
- It supports user-defined type conversion from/into toml values.
- It correctly handles UTF-8 sequences, with or without BOM, both on posix and Windows.

I plan to package and maintain toml11 myself. There was an RFP post on the Debian med mailing list, so I wanted to pick it up.
