Toml: Tom's Obvious, Minimal Language

Used to be called "INI file" in the past...

In any case I'm glad to see it in several open source projects (Mailtrain for example). It's so much easier to read for humans than JSON.

Yeah, TOML is definitely INI inspired, but there is no canonical INI spec. I wouldn't say that TOML is INI, though. INI files still exist in their variously poorly specified ways.

As mentioned in the source link, the INI format is not standardized. This is an attempt at a standardized format similar to INI.
