What is a TOML file?
A TOML file is a settings file saved in the TOML (Tom's Obvious, Minimal Language) format. Various programs use TOML files to load configuration settings. For example, Minecraft Forge, a popular Minecraft modding program, loads settings from TOML files.
More Information
Developer Tom Preston-Werner created the open-source TOML format in 2013. Each TOML file consists of plain text key-value pairs that define a program's settings. Typically, related settings are divided into sections denoted by bracketed text (e.g., [New Section]).
Many programs use one or more TOML files to store and load their settings. Users can edit these files to adjust the associated program's settings to their liking.
NOTE: TOML files are formatted similarly to .JSON and .YAML files. However, TOML is designed to be easier to read and understand than JSON and YAML.
How to open a TOML file
You can open and edit a TOML file with Microsoft Notepad (Windows), Apple TextEdit (Mac), or any other text editor.
For instructions on how to use or edit a specific program's TOML files, refer to that program's documentation.
