TOML

Decode from TOML. Note that yq does not yet support outputting in TOML format (and therefore it cannot roundtrip)

Parse: Simple

Given a sample.toml file of:

A = "hello"
B = 12

then

yq -oy '.' sample.toml

will output

A: hello
B: 12

Parse: Deep paths

Given a sample.toml file of:

person.name = "hello"
person.address = "12 cat st"

then

yq -oy '.' sample.toml

will output

person:
  name: hello
  address: 12 cat st

Parse: inline table

Given a sample.toml file of:

name = { first = "Tom", last = "Preston-Werner" }

then

yq -oy '.' sample.toml

will output

name:
  first: Tom
  last: Preston-Werner

Parse: Array Table

Given a sample.toml file of:

[owner.contact]
name = "Tom Preston-Werner"
age = 36

[[owner.addresses]]
street = "first street"
suburb = "ok"

[[owner.addresses]]
street = "second street"
suburb = "nice"

then

yq -oy '.' sample.toml

will output

owner:
  contact:
    name: Tom Preston-Werner
    age: 36
  addresses:
    - street: first street
      suburb: ok
    - street: second street
      suburb: nice

Parse: with header

Given a sample.toml file of:

[servers]

[servers.alpha]
ip = "10.0.0.1"

then

yq -oy '.' sample.toml

will output

servers:
  alpha:
    ip: 10.0.0.1
