10This crate allows you to parse and modify toml
11documents, while preserving comments, spaces *and
12relative order* of items.
13
14`toml_edit` is primarily tailored for [cargo-edit](https://github.com/killercup/cargo-edit/) needs.
15
16## Example
17
18```rust
19use toml_edit::{Document, value};
20
21fn main() {
22    let toml = r#"
23"hello" = 'toml!' # comment
24['a'.b]
25    "#;
26    let mut doc = toml.parse::<Document>().expect("invalid doc");
27    assert_eq!(doc.to_string(), toml);
28    // let's add a new key/value pair inside a.b: c = {d = "hello"}
29    doc["a"]["b"]["c"]["d"] = value("hello");
30    // autoformat inline table a.b.c: { d = "hello" }
31    doc["a"]["b"]["c"].as_inline_table_mut().map(|t| t.fmt());
32    let expected = r#"
33"hello" = 'toml!' # comment
34['a'.b]
35c = { d = "hello" }
36    "#;
37    assert_eq!(doc.to_string(), expected);
38}
