go-toml v2 is a Go library for parsing and encoding the TOML file format, supporting TOML v1.1.0. It is designed to behave like the standard library's encoding/, with strict mode, contextualized decode errors, and local date/time types.

Use cases

• parse TOML config files in Go
• marshal Go structs to TOML
• unmarshal TOML documents into structs
• validate TOML files against a struct with strict mode
• generate commented TOML configuration files
• handle TOML local date and time values

When to choose

• you need TOML support in a Go project
• you want encoding/-like ergonomics for TOML
• you need helpful, contextualized decode errors
• performance matters for TOML parsing

When to avoid

• you work in a language other than Go
• you need a general-purpose config format like YAML or JSON instead of TOML
