What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-29, confidence not recorded

A Go library for parsing and encoding TOML configuration files, with a reflection-based API mirroring the standard library's and xml packages. It also ships a tomlv CLI validator for checking TOML files.

Use cases

  • parse TOML config files into Go structs
  • decode TOML with struct tags and custom unmarshalers
  • encode Go structs to TOML
  • validate TOML files from the command line
  • read application configuration in Go

When to choose

  • you need TOML support in a Go program with a stdlib-like API
  • you want mature, well-tested TOML v1.1.0 compliance
  • you need a CLI to validate TOML syntax

When to avoid

  • you are parsing YAML or JSON instead of TOML
  • you are not working in Go
  • you need streaming parsing of very large documents
