toml::table class

A TOML table.

The interface of this type is modeled after std::map, with some additional considerations made for the heterogeneous nature of a TOML table.

toml::table tbl = toml::parse(R"(

    [animals]
    cats = [ "tiger", "lion", "puma" ]
    birds = [ "macaw", "pigeon", "canary" ]
    fish = [ "salmon", "trout", "carp" ]

)"sv);

// operator[] retrieves node-views
std::cout << "cats: " << tbl["animals"]["cats"] << "\n";
std::cout << "fish[1]: " << tbl["animals"]["fish"][1] << "\n";

// at_path() does fully-qualified "toml path" lookups
std::cout << "cats: " << tbl.at_path("animals.cats") << "\n";
std::cout << "fish[1]: " << tbl.at_path("animals.fish[1]") << "\n";
cats: ['tiger', 'lion', 'puma']
fish[1] : 'trout'
cats : ['tiger', 'lion', 'puma']
fish[1] : 'trout'
