Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between beautify and minify?

Beautify adds whitespace for readability (development). Minify removes whitespace for smaller file size (production).

Are comments preserved?

Yes, comments are preserved in beautify mode. Minify mode may remove comments for maximum compression.

Does formatting change the data?

No, formatting only changes whitespace. The parsed data is identical before and after formatting.

What indentation is used?

TOML doesn't use indentation for structure (unlike YAML). The formatter uses consistent spacing for readability.

Can this fix invalid TOML?

No, this tool formats valid TOML. Syntax errors must be fixed before formatting. The tool will report parse errors.

Why use TOML formatting?

Consistent formatting improves readability, reduces merge conflicts, and makes version control diffs cleaner and more meaningful.
