How to use

  1. Paste your TOML document (e.g. Cargo.toml, pyproject.toml) into the input editor.
  2. Click 'Format TOML' to beautify the configuration structure and align key-values.
  3. Switch to 'Validate TOML' to quickly verify syntax compliance.
  4. Copy or download the formatted configuration file.

Examples

Format TOML Table

Input

[server]
host = 'localhost'
port = 8080
enabled = true

Example output

[server]
host = "localhost"
port = 8080
enabled = true

Validate TOML Syntax

Input

[package]
name = 'demo'
version = '0.1.0'

Example output

Valid TOML document.

Edge cases

Dotted Keys vs Nested Tables

TOML permits both dotted keys (a.b.c = 1) and nested table headers ([a.b]). The formatter standardizes tables into clean hierarchical structures.

Date and Time Primitives

RFC 3339 offset dates, local date-times, and local times are parsed accurately without timezone distortion.

Array of Tables

Double-bracket table arrays ([[products]]) format consistently with clear section boundaries.

How it works

  1. Tokenizes the configuration using an official TOML v1.0.0 compliant parser in an isolated Web Worker.
  2. Reconstructs tables, arrays, multiline strings, and scalar primitives.
  3. Produces normalized TOML output and reports accurate line/column locations on syntax errors.
  4. Dispatches the sanitized result directly back to the workspace pane.

Frequently asked questions

Are my config files uploaded or analyzed on a server?

No. All parsing and formatting is performed entirely in your browser using client-side Web Workers.

Which TOML specification does this formatter follow?

The formatter fully adheres to the official TOML v1.0.0 specification, including inline tables, arrays, and standard string escape rules.

Can I format Cargo.toml or pyproject.toml files?

Yes. Standard Rust Cargo, Python pyproject, Go Hugo, and other ecosystem TOML files format cleanly.
