ProTOML - Introduction

ProTOML makes TOML easy to use from normal Clarion applications.

The global template supplies the high-level Toml object used by the examples and demo programs. The wrapper handles the ordinary work, so most developers can use simple calls such as WriteGroup, WriteRecord, WriteQueue, SaveMemo, and LoadMemo. Ordinary GROUP, QUEUE, and FILE RECORD declarations work without the BINDABLE attribute.

Highlights

High-level Clarion template and wrapper
Individual string, numeric, Boolean, date, and time values
GROUP mapping
Current FILE record-buffer mapping
QUEUE mapping to TOML arrays of tables
Complete-document text and buffer storage
MEMO and BLOB storage
Normal .toml file storage
Readable error information
Optional low-level API for specialized work

A small example

Toml.StartDocument()
Toml.WriteGroup('settings',AppSettings)
Toml.WriteQueue('contacts',ContactQueue)

The same document can be displayed, edited, stored with an existing record, saved as a .toml file, or exchanged with software written in other modern languages.
