# Speak your mind with the hash symbol. They go from the symbol to the end of
# the line.

## Table
# Tables (also known as hash tables or dictionaries) are collections of
# key/value pairs. They appear in square brackets on a line by themselves.
[table]
key = "value" # Yeah, you can do this.
# Nested tables are denoted by table names with dots in them. Name your tables
# whatever crap you please, just don't use #, ., [ or ].
[table.subtable]
key = "another value"
# You don't need to specify all the super-tables if you don't want to. TOML
# knows how to do it for you.
# [x] you
# [x.y] don't
# [x.y.z] need these
[x.y.z.w] # for this to work
################################################################################
## Inline Table
# Inline tables provide a more compact syntax for expressing tables. They are
# especially useful for grouped data that can otherwise quickly become verbose.
# Inline tables are enclosed in curly braces `{` and `}`. No newlines are
# allowed between the curly braces unless they are valid within a value.
[table.inline]
name = { first = "Tom", last = "Preston-Werner" }
point = { x = 1, y = 2 }

## String
# There are four ways to express strings: basic, multi-line basic, literal, and
# multi-line literal. All strings must contain only valid UTF-8 characters.
[string.basic]
basic = "I'm a string. \"You can quote me\". Name\tJos\u00E9\nLocation\tSF."
[string.multiline]
# The following strings are byte-for-byte equivalent:
key1 = "One\nTwo"
key2 = """One\nTwo"""
key3 = """
One
Two"""
[string.multiline.continued]
# The following strings are byte-for-byte equivalent:
key1 = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."
key2 = """
The quick brown \
fox jumps over \
the lazy dog."""
key3 = """\
The quick brown \
fox jumps over \
the lazy dog.\

# What you see is what you get.

The first newline is
trimmed in raw strings.
All other whitespace
is preserved.

# A float consists of an integer part (which may be prefixed with a plus or
# minus sign) followed by a fractional part and/or an exponent part.

## Array
# Arrays are square brackets with other primitives inside. Whitespace is
# ignored. Elements are separated by commas. Since 2019-11-06 data types can be
# mixed.

key4 = [ [ 1, 2 ], ["a", "b", "c"] ] # this is ok
# Arrays can also be multiline. So in addition to ignoring whitespace, arrays
# also ignore newlines between the brackets. Terminating commas are ok before
# the closing bracket.

1, 2, 3

## Array of Tables
# These can be expressed by using a table name in double brackets. Each table
# with the same double bracketed name will be an element in the array. The
# tables are inserted in the order encountered.
