JSON to TOML Conversion
JSON is a data format based on JavaScript object syntax, while TOML (Tom's Obvious, Minimal Language) is a configuration file format.
Format comparison:
JSON: Uses braces and brackets, key-value pairs separated by colons
TOML: Uses sections and key-value pairs, supports comments, cleaner syntax
Conversion includes:
• Converting JSON objects to TOML section structures
• Handling array conversion to TOML array format
• Maintaining data type consistency
• Generating TOML-compliant configuration files
