Working with TOML

Decode from TOML. Note that yq does not yet support outputting in TOML format (and therefore it cannot roundtrip)
Parse: Simple
Given a sample.toml file of:
A = "hello"
B = 12
​
then
yq -oy '.' sample.toml
will output
A: hello
B: 12
Parse: Deep paths
Given a sample.toml file of:
person.name = "hello"
person.address = "12 cat st"
​
then
yq -oy '.' sample.toml
will output
person:
  name: hello
  address: 12 cat st
Encode: Scalar
Given a sample.toml file of:
person.name = "hello"
person.address = "12 cat st"
​
then
yq '.person.name' sample.toml
will output
hello
Parse: inline table
Given a sample.toml file of:
name = { first = "Tom", last = "Preston-Werner" }
then
yq -oy '.' sample.toml
will output
name:
  first: Tom
  last: Preston-Werner
Parse: Array Table
Given a sample.toml file of:
​
[owner.contact]
name = "Tom Preston-Werner"
age = 36
​
[[owner.addresses]]
street = "first street"
suburb = "ok"
​
[[owner.addresses]]
street = "second street"
suburb = "nice"
​
then
yq -oy '.' sample.toml
will output
owner:
  contact:
    name: Tom Preston-Werner
    age: 36
  addresses:
    - street: first street
      suburb: ok
    - street: second street
      suburb: nice
