Parse TOML. Like a bawss.
A sane configuration format from @mojombo. More information here: https://github.com/mojombo/toml
This is far superior to YAML and JSON because it doesn't suck. Really it doesn't.
Add to your Gemfile:
gem "toml", "~> 0.3.0"
It's simple, really.
content = < { "things" => { "other" => "things", "what" => 900000 } }
You can also use the same API as
YAMLif you'd like:
TOML.load("thing = 9") # => {"thing" => 9}TOML.load_file("my_file.toml")
=> {"whatever" => "keys"}
There's also a beta feature for generating a TOML file from a Ruby hash. Please note this will likely not give beautiful output right now.
hash = { "integer" => 1, "float" => 3.14159, "true" => true, "false" => false, "string" => "hi", "array" => [[1], [2], [3]], "key" => { "group" => { "value" => "lol" } } } doc = TOML::Generator.new(hash).body # doc will be a string containing a proper TOML document.
