What is a .TOML file?
TOML is a clear, minimal configuration-file format popular in modern software, especially Rust.
- Did you know
- TOML was created in 2013 by GitHub co-founder Tom Preston-Werner - the name means "Tom’s Obvious, Minimal Language".
- TOML is designed to map cleanly onto a hash table, and its 1.0.0 specification was finalised in 2021.
- It is the native format of Rust’s Cargo manifest and of Python’s pyproject.toml.
- A .TOML file is plain text, so you can open and edit it in any text editor.
- What Analyser reads
- Identify configuration files: TOML, INI, .env, CONF, CFG, and Java properties.
- Depth of analysis
- .TOML is an identification-grade format: Analyser recognises it from its bytes and decodes the header metadata it carries, rather than opening it in a full viewer. Formats that do get a full viewer are marked "Full" on the formats page.
- Open a .TOML file
- Drag a .TOML file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It is identified entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
