About XML to TOML Converter

Convert XML data to TOML (Tom's Obvious, Minimal Language) format, a popular configuration file format used by Rust, Hugo, and many other modern applications.

Key Features

  • Automatic Type Detection: Recognizes strings, integers, floats, booleans, and dates
  • Array of Tables: Supports [[table]] syntax for repeated items
  • Key Sanitization: Converts XML tags to valid TOML keys
  • Proper Escaping: Handles special characters in strings
  • File Upload: Upload .xml files directly
  • Copy & Download: Easy export as .toml file

How to Use

  1. Input XML Data: Paste your XML data or upload an .xml file
  2. Configure Options: Choose table array format
  3. Review Output: The TOML configuration generates automatically
  4. Copy or Download: Use the Copy or Download button to save your TOML file

TOML Syntax

  • [[table]]: Array of tables for repeated items
  • [table.section]: Named sections for grouped data
  • key = value: Key-value pairs with type inference
  • Strings: Quoted with proper escaping
  • Numbers: Integers and floats without quotes
  • Booleans: true or false (lowercase)

Example Conversion

XML Input:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<servers>
  <server>
    <name>alpha</name>
    <ip>10.0.0.1</ip>
    <port>8080</port>
    <enabled>true</enabled>
  </server>
  <server>
    <name>beta</name>
    <ip>10.0.0.2</ip>
    <port>8081</port>
    <enabled>false</enabled>
  </server>
</servers>

TOML Output (Array of Tables):

[[servers]]
name = "alpha"
ip = "10.0.0.1"
port = 8080
enabled = true

[[servers]]
name = "beta"
ip = "10.0.0.2"
port = 8081
enabled = false

Common Use Cases

  • Rust Projects: Cargo.toml configuration files
  • Hugo: Static site generator configuration
  • Application Config: Modern application configuration files
  • Package Management: Poetry, pipenv, and other tools
  • Infrastructure: Docker Compose, Kubernetes configs

Type Detection

The converter automatically detects and formats data types:

  • Strings: Quoted text with escaped special characters
  • Integers: Whole numbers without quotes (e.g., 42)
  • Floats: Decimal numbers without quotes (e.g., 3.14)
  • Booleans: true or false (case-insensitive input)
  • Dates: ISO 8601 format (e.g., 2024-01-15)

TOML Benefits

  • Human-Readable: Easy to read and write
  • Unambiguous: Clear syntax with minimal edge cases
  • Type-Safe: Strong typing for configuration values
  • Modern: Widely adopted in modern tooling
  • Minimal: Simple syntax without unnecessary complexity

Privacy & Security

All conversions happen locally in your browser. Your XML data is never uploaded to any server, ensuring complete privacy and security.
