Does this require a concrete class or can we set and get values directly?

I just looked at toml and I like the syntax mush more then json.
However I am looking for something like this in a toml library...

var tomlFile = new TomlFile(filepath);
tomlFile.Set<T>(T value); //create if doesn't exist and sets it
T value = tomlFile.Get<T>(); //gets the value or default.
tomlFile.Save(); //optional filepath

Is this supported if not how hard would it be to do?

Edit: btw the name and avatar of this library made me laugh.

Hi!

Sorry for not answering earlier. Tommy's API followed that of SimpleJSON and was made for quick and low-level access to a TOML document. I, therefore, tried to be careful with terminology and called Tommy a TOML reader and writer instead of "deserialiser and serialiser".

If you need higher-level access, you can write extensions on top of Tommy that implement it. There are already some basic implementations, for example.

• instance-id/Tommy.Serializer implements a full serialiser. Although the project isn't seemingly maintained actively, upgrading it to Tommy 3.0.0 should be possible.
• Tommy.Extensions.Configuration NuGet package implements Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration-compliant TOML loading. With it, you can use the standard Options API that you may be familiar with from ASP.NET Core

There are also other TOML implementations for C# that take a more high-level approach. I am aware of [SamboyCoding/Tomlet(https://github.com/SamboyCoding/Tomlet), which has a full-blown (de)serialiser as part of the library.
