🧬 TOML to Ruby — Free Online Tool

Convert TOML to Ruby online, free. TOML is a readable configuration format built around key/value pairs and tables. Ruby keyword-init Structs give lightweight, typed-by-convention value objects. TOML to Ruby conversion parses your TOML against the TOML v1.0.0 grammar (https://toml.io/en/v1.0.0), builds an in-memory model of its keys, nested objects and arrays, then emits ready-to-use Ruby types following the Ruby Struct conventions. Processing runs in your browser in JavaScript with no upload or server round-trip — no size limit beyond your device's memory, so multi-megabyte documents convert in milliseconds and sensitive payloads never leave your machine. Typical uses include Rails & Sinatra apps, API response objects and config and DTOs.

🚀 Why use this TOML to Ruby tool?

It maps the full structure of your TOML onto idiomatic Ruby types, following the Ruby Struct conventions. 100% free, no registration, and complete privacy — everything runs locally in your browser, so your data never touches a server.

Key Features

Instant, in-browser

Paste TOML and generate Ruby types from Ruby immediately. Conversion runs client-side, so there is no upload wait and large documents stay fast.

🧩Structure-aware mapping

Nested TOML objects, tables and arrays are mapped faithfully onto Ruby, including nested types and optional fields.

🔒100% private

Your TOML never leaves your device — everything is processed locally in JavaScript, with nothing logged or stored.

🆓Free, no signup

Unlimited conversions with no account, no quotas, and no watermark. Works on desktop and mobile.

Popular Use Cases

Typed models from samples

  • Turn a sample TOML payload into Ruby types
  • Skip hand-writing boilerplate models
  • Keep front-end and back-end shapes in sync

Rails & Sinatra apps

  • Rails & Sinatra apps
  • API response objects
  • config and DTOs

Onboarding a new API

  • Paste an example TOML response
  • Get typed Ruby to consume it safely
  • Catch shape mismatches at compile time

What It Handles

Structure

  • Nested objects & tables
  • Arrays / lists
  • Deeply nested documents

Values

  • Inferred types (string, number, boolean)
  • Optional / nullable fields
  • Nested type names

Workflow

  • Copy or download output
  • Load an example to try it
  • Validate & format the input

Worked example

A TOML document and its Ruby equivalent:

TOML input:

host = "db.internal"
port = 5432
secure = true

Output:

Server = Struct.new(:host, :port, :secure, keyword_init: true)

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert TOML to Ruby?

Paste your TOML into the editor and press "Convert to Ruby". The tool parses it against the TOML v1.0.0 grammar, then generates Ruby types following Ruby Struct conventions — instantly and entirely in your browser. You can validate or format the TOML first to be sure it is clean.

How is TOML structure represented in Ruby?

TOML values are typed and it has first-class dates and times, so they carry into Ruby cleanly. TOML tables become nested Ruby types, and arrays-of-tables become lists.

Are optional fields detected when generating Ruby?

Optional or nullable members in the generated Ruby are inferred from keys missing in some records of your TOML, following Ruby Struct. Include the optional fields in your sample so they are typed correctly.

What is the difference between TOML and Ruby?

TOML (Tom's Obvious Minimal Language) (TOML) — TOML is a readable configuration format built around key/value pairs and tables. Ruby structs (Ruby) — Ruby keyword-init Structs give lightweight, typed-by-convention value objects. This converter maps the structure of your TOML onto Ruby so you can use it for Rails & Sinatra apps.

Does the converter validate my TOML first?

Yes. Invalid TOML is flagged with a clear error before anything is converted. Common TOML problems to check are correct key/value pairs, quoted strings, and valid [table] headers. Starting from clean input keeps the generated Ruby accurate.

Is my TOML data private?

Yes. The entire TOML-to-Ruby conversion runs locally in your browser in JavaScript — your TOML is never uploaded, logged or stored. That matters when the data is something like Rust Cargo & Python pyproject config, which should not leave your machine.

Where can I use the Ruby output?

The generated Ruby is ready for Rails & Sinatra apps, API response objects and config and DTOs. Copy or download it and drop it straight into your codebase.

🎓 Pro Tips

  • Tip 1: Validate or format your TOML first (the Validate / Format buttons) so the converter works from clean, TOML v1.0.0-conformant input.
  • Tip 2: Give the tool a representative TOML sample — optional fields are only detected from the keys actually present, so include them if they matter.
  • Tip 3: Authoritative reference for the input format: TOML v1.0.0 — https://toml.io/en/v1.0.0.
  • Tip 4: For the output, follow the Ruby Struct (https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/master/Struct.html) conventions in your codebase.
