Example: TOML input and real XML output

The output below was generated by the same conversion code the converter uses, run on this sample when the page was built.

TOML input (173 characters)
[cargo.package]
name = "invoice-tool"
version = "0.3.2"
edition = "2021"

[cargo.dependencies]
serde = "1.0"
tokio = "1.40"

[cargo.profile.release]
lto = true
opt-level = 3
XML output (317 characters)
<cargo>
  <package>
    <name>invoice-tool</name>
    <version>0.3.2</version>
    <edition>2021</edition>
  </package>
  <dependencies>
    <serde>1.0</serde>
    <tokio>1.40</tokio>
  </dependencies>
  <profile>
    <release>
      <lto>true</lto>
      <opt-level>3</opt-level>
    </release>
  </profile>
</cargo>

XML output is 83% larger than the TOML input. The same data is 175 characters as minified JSON and 291 as pretty-printed JSON. Sizes are character counts, not tokens: token counts depend on the model's tokenizer (see the tokenizer comparison).

TOML to XML: what changes

  • Reading TOML: A TOML document always parses to a table (an object), never a bare array. Datetimes are a TOML-native type and come out as ISO 8601 strings.
  • Writing XML: XML needs exactly one root element. Several top-level keys, or a top-level key holding an array, produce sibling roots that are not well-formed XML, which is why this sample is wrapped in a single key. Keys prefixed with @_ become attributes.
