# dom-toml — Dom's tools for Tom's Obvious, Minimal Language.

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 1.0M/mo

## What it is and what it does

dom_toml is a utility library that wraps and extends TOML handling for Python, built on top of tomli for parsing. It's designed to provide convenience functions and tools for working with TOML configuration files, targeting developers who need a higher-level interface than raw TOML parsing. The package maintains active development, supports modern Python versions from 3.7 to 3.13, and is available through both PyPI and Anaconda.

The package depends on domdf-python-tools and tomli, suggesting it provides domain-specific helpers for TOML workflows rather than reimplementing parsing. It's classified as Beta-stage software and carries MIT licensing, making it suitable for use in both open and closed projects. With no known vulnerabilities and active maintenance, it presents a low-risk addition to projects that need streamlined TOML configuration handling.

Use it for:

- Simplifying TOML file parsing in configuration management systems that need helper utilities beyond basic tomli parsing
- Building tools that read and process TOML-based project metadata or configuration with convenience functions
- Integrating TOML handling into larger Python projects that already use domdf-python-tools
- Reducing boilerplate code when repeatedly working with TOML data structures in applications

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Provides utilities and helpers for working with TOML configuration files, building on top of tomli to simplify parsing and manipulation of TOML data in Python.

Yes, if your project needs TOML configuration handling and benefits from higher-level utilities. The package is actively maintained, carries permissive MIT licensing, installs with low friction, has no known vulnerabilities, and supports a broad range of Python versions. Install it when you want convenience helpers for TOML workflows; skip it if raw tomli parsing is sufficient for your use case.

## Install

pip install dom-toml
uv add dom-toml
poetry add dom-toml

## Installing dom-toml

Before you install: Low friction installation with a pure-wheel distribution. Actively maintained as of 2026-01-22, with recent commits and no archived status. Supports a wide range of Python versions from 3.7 through 3.13.

License in practice: Licensed under MIT (permissive), meaning you can use, modify, and distribute this package freely with minimal restrictions, provided you retain the license notice.

Quickstart:

pip install dom-toml

import dom_toml
# Use dom_toml utilities for TOML handling alongside tomli

Verify before relying:

- What specific utilities or helper functions dom_toml provides beyond tomli's core parsing capabilities
- Whether dom_toml adds serialization (writing TOML) or only parsing enhancements
- Integration patterns with domdf-python-tools and how that dependency is typically used
