Frequently Asked Questions
The converter automatically detects common naming patterns like DB_HOST, DB_PORT and groups them into TOML sections like [database]. Variables with underscores are intelligently organized into hierarchical structures.
Yes, the converter analyzes values and converts them to appropriate TOML types: numbers become integers/floats, true/false become booleans, and comma-separated values become arrays where appropriate.
Comments starting with # are preserved and properly formatted in the TOML output. The converter maintains comment placement and improves formatting for better readability.
Currently, the converter processes one file at a time. For multiple files, convert each separately or merge your .env files before conversion to create a comprehensive TOML configuration.
The converter recognizes common patterns like PREFIX_SETTING and creates appropriate TOML sections. For example, DATABASE_URL and DATABASE_PORT become entries under a [database] section.
Yes, the converter properly handles single and double-quoted values in .env files, preserving the content while converting to appropriate TOML format and removing unnecessary quotes.
