Selection between multiple C++ libraries.

[antiqueverma]

Hi
I am new to TOML. I was planning to use this file format with C++ for some basic applications.
Currently I am getting confused as in which C++ library will be best
Cktan or Marzer or ToruNiina. Can anyone please tell pros/cons (if any) of these three.

Obviously I have some skin in the game here, but it really depends on what your priorities are and what environment constraints you're limited to.

• What is the minimum version of the C++ standard you wish to target?
• Do you require TOML comment preservation?
• Do you prefer a more functional or imperative style of code?
• Do you prefer procedural C-style code, or modern C++-style code?
• Can/will you use exceptions?

All three have fairly different focuses so will be better or worse for you depending on your needs. Consider doing a quick scan of the documentation of each and see what feels like a good fit for you:

• marzer/tomlplusplus
• ToruNiina/toml11
• cktan/tomlcpp
