jtoml

TOML Parser for Java

Using jtoml

Parsing

The JToml class has methods for parsing Toml from files, input streams, readers are just strings
jtoml does not load the entire toml file before parsing, only the current line being read is kept in memory

Toml toml = JToml.parseString("foo = 42"); //Parsing a String
toml = JToml.parse(ExampleTomlTest.class.getResourceAsStream("/example.toml")); //From an input stream
toml = JToml.parse(new File("/example.toml")); //From a file
toml = JToml.parse(new StringReader("foo = 42")); // From a reader

Getting values

Parsing a TOML file returns a Toml instance, which is the root toml table. TomlTables have accessor methods for each possible value type. The accessor receives a single name String parameter, and optionally any number of additional String or Integer values. Looking at the arguments [name, optional1,optional2,... optionalN], each specifies a way to traverse down out TOML. String arguments travers down a TomlTable (hence the first is always a String) and Integers travers down a List. e.g. toml.getX("foo",3,"aa","z") will be in the JSON world "toml.foo[3].aa.z"

toml.getValue("foo"); // Object
toml.getString("foo"); // String
toml.getBoolean("foo"); // Boolean
toml.getDate("foo"); // Date
toml.getDouble("foo"); // Double
toml.getLong("foo"); // Long
toml.getList("foo"); // List<?>
toml.getTomlTable("foo"); // TomlTable

Mapping to POJO

You can create a POJO class instance, filling it with values for a given TomlTable. Any field that isn't a type of String, Date, List, Boolean, Double, Long is assumed to be a nested POJO type and is recursively mapped (it's value in the toml should be a TomlTable).

[foo]
stringKey="a"
longKey=42
doubleKey=13.37
booleanKey=true
listKey=[1,2,3]
[foo.bar]
bazz="Hello"
dummy=459

Retrieving

class Foo {
	String stringKey;
	Long longKey;
	Double doubleKey;
	Boolean booleanKey;
	List<Object> listKey;
	Bar bar;
	Boolean awesome;
}
class Bar {
  String bazz;
  Long dummy;
}
Foo foo = toml.getTomlTable("foo").asObject(Foo.class);
