    Hi all,

    Wondered if there is a recommended toml parser available ?
    Web searches were somewhat confusing, some suggesting there is an
    official package, others that there isn't.
    I'm aware of Arjen's work on the wiki "Parsing TOML files"
    Is this the recommended starting place or is there something else I
    should consider ?

    Thanks
    Shaun

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    I hear phrases like that a lot these days... what does it mean?

    From my POV, I think of "official" meaning packages that have made it
    into 'Tcllib', or are included in books or tutorials. or have gained
    enough traction in the community to be considered the 'goto' solution

    best regards
