Honestly, it’s fine. TOML is better if you can use it, but otherwise for simple applications, it’s fine. PgBouncer still uses INI, though that in particular makes me twitch a bit, due to discovering that if it fails to parse its config, it logs the failed line (reasonable), which can include passwords if it’s a DSN string.

- marcosdumay 2y agoWell, once you get over the fact that information on a TOML file can be out of order in any place, denominated by any mix of 3 different key encodings, and broken down in any random way... then yes, the rest of TOML is good.
