TabTomlParser

A Toml parser for GameMaker. https://toml.io/en/

This covers the full range of the v1.0.0 spec and has been tested roughly based on the examples given from the spec sheet.

Main caveats

Empty quoted key names

As GameMaker does not support empty key names in structs, any keys with an empty key name will be instead set as $$__INTENTIONAL_NULL_KEY__$$.

Datetime

All RFC 3339 date-time support is baked in, and builds upon the date_* functionality. Their value type will be numbers.

Installation

Copy the TabTomlParse.gml contents and paste it into an empty script.

Usage

var _buff = buffer_load("config.toml");
var _str = buffer_read(_buff, buffer_text);
buffer_delete(_buff);

var _config = TabTomlParse(_str);
// Printing it back out as JSON, since it's a bit easier to read than just a struct literal
show_debug_message(json_strigify(_config, true));
