What is JSON?

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format that is easy for humans to read and write and easy for machines to parse and generate. JSON is often used for transmitting data in web applications (e.g., sending data from a server to a client for display on a web page) and is specified by RFC 7159.

What is TOML?

TOML (Tom's Obvious, Minimal Language) is a configuration file format designed for readability due to its simple syntax. TOML maps unambiguously to a hash table and is designed to be easily parsed into data structures in a wide variety of languages. Learn more on the TOML GitHub repository.

JSON vs TOML

  • Readability: TOML is generally considered more human-readable than JSON because of its simpler syntax.
  • Comments: TOML supports comments, improving readability and maintainability, while JSON does not.
