How to Convert Go to TOML - Complete Guide

Step 1

Input Your Go Struct Literal

Paste your Go struct literal with configuration data. TOML is perfect for application configs, especially for Rust projects (Cargo.toml), Hugo sites, and many modern applications using BurntSushi/toml.

Paste Go struct literal: Copy initialized Go structs with configuration values
Upload a file: Load Go code from .go files on your computer
Quick samples: Try preset examples (basic config, database, nested structures)

Example: Go Database Config

A typical Go struct for database configuration:

Database{
    Host: "localhost",
    Port: 5432,
    Username: "dbuser",
    Password: "secret123",
    MaxConnections: 100
}
Step 2

Automatic TOML Generation

The converter instantly transforms your Go struct into clean, human-readable TOML configuration format:

Real-time conversion: See TOML output as you type with instant parsing
Maintains structure: Preserves nested sections, tables, and arrays
Clean formatting: Generates properly formatted, readable TOML configuration
Type preservation: Correctly handles strings, integers, floats, booleans, arrays

Example: Generated TOML Output

The database config converts to this clean TOML:

Host = "localhost"
Port = 5432
Username = "dbuser"
Password = "secret123"
MaxConnections = 100
Step 3

Export Your TOML Configuration

Your TOML config is ready for use in Cargo.toml, Hugo, application configs, or any TOML-based tool:

Copy to clipboard: One-click copy to paste into your config files
Download as .toml: Save directly as a TOML configuration file
Production ready: Works with Rust Cargo, Hugo, and any TOML parser

Frequently Asked Questions

What is TOML and why use it?

TOML (Tom's Obvious, Minimal Language) is a minimal configuration file format that's easy to read. It's used by Rust's Cargo, Hugo, and many modern applications because it's more readable than JSON and less complex than YAML.

Can I convert nested Go structs to TOML sections?

Yes! Nested structs are converted to TOML sections/tables. For example, a Server struct with a nested Database struct becomes [Server] and [Server.Database] sections in TOML.

How does it handle Go arrays and slices?

Go slices like []string{"item1", "item2"} are converted to TOML arrays. The converter properly formats them as TOML array syntax: ["item1", "item2"].

Is this suitable for Rust Cargo.toml files?

Absolutely! If you have Go configuration structs that match Cargo.toml structure, this tool can generate valid TOML for Rust projects. It's great for migrating configs or generating TOML from Go code.

Is this Go to TOML converter free?

Yes, completely free with unlimited conversions! No registration required. Perfect for developers working with Go, Rust, Hugo, or any TOML-based configuration systems.
