YAML to TOML
This lesson is part of Web Developer Tools · All levels
Summary
The YAML to TOML converter translates the configuration structure of YAML into a table and a pair of TOML keys. Mapping YAML into tables, list into arrays, and objects within the list into arrays of tables. This conversion is useful when a project moves configuration format, for example from a YAML docker-compose to a TOML file. Comments, anchors, and aliases typical of YAML have no direct correlation so the information can be lost.
Key points
- Mapping YAML into a table and key = value on TOML
- List YAML to array TOML
- Object in the list becomes an array of tables
- Comment and anchor/alias YAML are not automatically carried
- Check the conversion results because the data type and structure can be different.
