This crate allows you to parse and modify toml documents, while preserving comments, spaces and relative order or items.
toml_edit is primarily tailored for cargo-edit needs.
extern crate toml_edit;
use toml_edit::{Document, value};
fn main() {
let toml = r#"
"hello" = 'toml!' # comment
['a'.b]
"#;
let mut doc = toml.parse::<Document>().expect("invalid doc");
assert_eq!(doc.to_string(), toml);
// let's add a new key/value pair inside a.b: c = {d = "hello"}
doc["a"]["b"]["c"]["d"] = value("hello");
// autoformat inline table a.b.c: { d = "hello" }
doc["a"]["b"]["c"].as_inline_table_mut().map(|t| t.fmt());
let expected = r#"
"hello" = 'toml!' # comment
['a'.b]
c = { d = "hello" }
"#;
assert_eq!(doc.to_string(), expected);
}Things it does not preserve:
- Scattered array of tables (tables are reordered by default, see test).
- Order of dotted keys, see issue.
