<p>A new bug fix release of <a href="http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/code/rcpp.toml.html">RcppTOML</a> arrived on <a href="https://cran.r-project.org/">CRAN</a> today. Table arrays were (wrongly) not allowing for nesting; a simply recursion fix addresses this.</p>
<p><a href="http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/code/rcpp.toml.html">RcppTOML</a> brings <a href="https://github.com/toml-lang/toml">TOML</a> to R. <a href="https://github.com/toml-lang/toml">TOML</a> is a file format that is most suitable for configurations, as it is meant to be edited by humans but read by computers. It emphasizes strong readability for humans while at the same time supporting strong typing as well as immediate and clear error reports. On small typos you get parse errors, rather than silently corrupted garbage. Much preferable to any and all of XML, JSON or YAML -- though sadly these may be too ubiquitous now. <a href="https://github.com/toml-lang/toml">TOML</a> is making good inroads with newer and more flexible projects such as the <a href="https://gohugo.io/">Hugo</a> static blog compiler, or the <a href="https://crates.io/">Cargo</a> system of Crates (aka &quot;packages&quot;) for the <a href="https://www.rust-lang.org/en-US/">Rust language</a>.</p>
