A PHP parser for TOML compatible with specification 0.4.0

#TOML parser for PHP

A PHP parser for TOML compatible with TOML v0.4.0.

Support:

#Installation

Requires PHP >= 7.1.

Use Composer to install this package:

composer require yosymfony/toml

#Usage

You can parse an inline TOML string or from a file:

To parse an inline TOML string:

use Yosymfony\Toml\Toml;
 
$array = Toml::Parse('key = [1,2,3]');
 
print_r($array);

To parse a TOML file:

$array = Toml::ParseFile('example.toml');
 
print_r($array);

Additionally, methods parse and parseFile accept a second argument called resultAsObject to return the result as an object based on stdClass.

$object = Toml::Parse('key = [1,2,3]', true);

#TomlBuilder

You can create a TOML string with TomlBuilder. TomlBuilder uses a fluent interface for more readable code:

use Yosymfony\Toml\TomlBuilder;
 
$tb = new TomlBuilder();
 
$result = $tb->addComment('Toml file')
    ->addTable('data.string')
    ->addValue('name', "Toml", 'This is your name')
    ->addValue('newline', "This string has a \n new line character.")
    ->addValue('winPath', "C:\\Users\\nodejs\\templates")
    ->addValue('literal', '@<\i\c*\s*>') // literals starts with '@'.
    ->addValue('unicode', 'unicode character: ' . json_decode('"\u03B4"'))
 
    ->addTable('data.bool')
    ->addValue('t', true)
    ->addValue('f', false)
 
    ->addTable('data.integer')
    ->addValue('positive', 25, 'Comment inline.')
    ->addValue('negative', -25)
 
    ->addTable('data.float')
    ->addValue('positive', 25.25)
    ->addValue('negative', -25.25)
 
    ->addTable('data.datetime')
    ->addValue('datetime', new \Datetime())
 
    ->addComment('Related to arrays')
 
    ->addTable('data.array')
    ->addValue('simple', array(1,2,3))
    ->addValue('multiple', array(
        array(1,2),
        array('abc', 'def'),
        array(1.1, 1.2),
        array(true, false),
        array( new \Datetime()) ))
 
    ->addComment('Array of tables')
 
    ->addArrayOfTable('fruit')                            // Row
        ->addValue('name', 'apple')
        ->addArrayOfTable('fruit.variety')
            ->addValue('name', 'red delicious')
        ->addArrayOfTable('fruit.variety')
            ->addValue('name', 'granny smith')
    ->addArrayOfTable('fruit')                            // Row
        ->addValue('name', 'banana')
        ->addArrayOfTable('fruit.variety')
            ->addValue('name', 'plantain')
    ->getTomlString();    // Generate the TOML string

The result:

#Toml file
 
[data.string]
name = "Toml" #This is your name
newline = "This string has a \n new line character."
winPath = "C:\\Users\\nodejs\\templates"
literal = '<\i\c*\s*>'
unicode = "unicode character: δ"
 
[data.bool]
t = true
f = false
 
[data.integer]
positive = 25 #Comment inline.
negative = -25
 
[data.float]
positive = 25.25
negative = -25.25
 
[data.datetime]
datetime = 2013-06-10T21:12:48Z
 
#Related to arrays
 
[data.array]
simple = [1, 2, 3]
multiple = [[1, 2], ["abc", "def"], [1.1, 1.2], [true, false], [2013-06-10T21:12:48Z]]
 
# Array of tables
 
[[fruit]]
name = "apple"
 
[[fruit.variety]]
name = "red delicious"
 
[[fruit.variety]]
name = "granny smith"
 
[[fruit]]
name = "banana"
 
[[fruit.variety]]
name = "plantain"
