Replacing toml-rs to toml_edit (question)

[epage]

Thats a good question that I overlooked in the docs and have since rectified it.

toml_edit::easy is meant for when want toml-rs and toml_edit but want either consistency in behavior or to keep your number of dependencies low. The design of toml-rs prevents us from this being format-preserving.

I will say the toml_edit API has gotten easier over time.

do you guys have any advice on replacing toml-rs?

Porting toml-rs code to toml_edit?

My first would be to only focus on doing that where its needed. If you have places where you only read TOML, feel free to keep that using toml-rs.

Beyond that,

• Check your use of serde. We can't preserve formatting through that, though we could make it easier to insert chunks of new TOML data into a format-preserving Document via serde
• If you are using the toml::Value API, the toml_edit::Document API won't be too different. The biggest issue will be that we have two table types, Table and InlineTable and two array types, Array and ArrayOfTables. TableLike and our Index / IndexMut APIs help gloss over some of these details.
