R Access to Parser for TOML (Tom's Obvious Markup Language)

Description

TOML (“Tom's Obvious Markup Language”) is a configuration file grammar for humans. It is easier to read and edit than the alternatives yet arguably more useful as it is stronly types: values come back as integer, double, (multiline-) character (strings), boolean or Datetime. Moreover, complex nesting and arrays are supported as well.

Details

At present, a single parsing function parseTOML (with convenience aliases tomlparse and parseToml) is implemented. It returns a list object corresponding to the configuration from the supplied file.

Author(s)

  summary(toml)            # really sparse summary method
  print(toml)              # print is a wrapper around str()
