A better TOML library for python implemented in rust.
- Correctness: rtoml is based on the widely used and very stable toml-rs library, it passes all the standard TOML tests as well as having 100% coverage on python code. Other TOML libraries for python I tried all failed to parse some valid TOML.
- Performance: see benchmarks - rtoml is much faster than pure Python TOML libraries.
Requires python>=3.7, binaries are available from pypi for linux, macos and windows,
see here.
pip install rtomlIf no binary is available on pypi for you system configuration; you'll need rust nightly and
setuptools-rust installed before you can install rtoml.
def load(toml: Union[str, Path, TextIO]) -> Dict[str, Any]: ...Parse TOML via a string or file and return a python dictionary. The toml argument may be a str,
Path or file object from open().
def loads(toml: str) -> Dict[str, Any]: ...Parse a TOML string and return a python dictionary. (provided to match the interface of json and similar libraries)
def dumps(obj: Any, *, pretty: bool = False) -> str: ...Serialize a python object to TOML.
If pretty is true, output has a more "pretty" format.
def dump(obj: Any, file: Union[Path, TextIO], *, pretty: bool = False) -> int: ...Serialize a python object to TOML and write it to a file. file may be a Path or file object from open().
If pretty is true, output has a more "pretty" format.
