TOML vs JSON: Format Comparison
Key differences between the two formats
When to Convert
Common scenarios where this conversion is useful
Processing Rust Cargo.toml
Convert Cargo.toml files to JSON for programmatic access to package dependencies, versions, and metadata in build scripts or CI pipelines.
Reading Python pyproject.toml
Convert pyproject.toml to JSON for processing Python project configuration, build system requirements, and tool settings programmatically.
Hugo and static site configs
Hugo and other static site generators use TOML for configuration. Convert to JSON for processing in build tools or migration to different config formats.
API and tooling integration
Most APIs and tools accept JSON but not TOML. Convert TOML config data to JSON for integration with web services and automation tools.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. Comments are removed during conversion because JSON does not support comments. The data itself is fully preserved.
TOML datetime values are converted to ISO 8601 strings in JSON. For example, 2026-02-19T10:30:00Z stays as the string '2026-02-19T10:30:00Z'.
TOML tables ([section]) become nested JSON objects. Dotted keys like [server.database] become nested objects: {"server": {"database": {}}}.
TOML arrays of tables ([[items]]) are converted to JSON arrays of objects, preserving the order of entries.
Yes. TOML integers become JSON numbers, and TOML floats (including inf and nan) become JSON numbers. Note: JSON does not have separate integer and float types.
Yes. Cargo.toml and any standard TOML 1.0 file can be converted. All Rust-specific key names and structures are preserved as JSON properties.
Mostly yes. Data values are preserved exactly. The only losses are comments and the distinction between integer and float number types, since JSON uses a single number type.
Yes. TOML multiline basic strings (triple quotes) and multiline literal strings are converted to JSON strings with embedded newline characters.
