How do I convert TOML to PROTOBUF using this tool?

1) Paste your TOML code or upload a .toml file. 2) The converter auto-generates a .proto schema that matches your TOML structure, or you can paste your own .proto if you have one. 3) Map any custom field types if needed. 4) Click 'Convert' to serialize the data into binary PROTOBUF format. 5) Download the resulting .proto schema and .bin data file. Ensure your TOML is valid; non-UTF8 strings or unsupported types are flagged.

Why should I convert TOML to PROTOBUF instead of keeping TOML?

TOML is great for human-readable configuration, but PROTOBUF serializes data into a compact binary format that is up to 10x smaller and parses much faster. It is ideal for internal microservices, gRPC APIs, and high-throughput systems where low latency and bandwidth savings matter. If you need to share config with clients over a wire protocol or store it in a distributed system, PROTOBUF is a better fit.

How does the TOML to PROTOBUF converter handle data types and nested structures?

The converter maps each TOML key-value pair to a protobuf field with a compatible scalar type: strings become string, integers become int64, floats become double, booleans stay bool, and arrays become repeated fields. TOML tables become nested message types, preserving hierarchy. Datetimes are converted to google.protobuf.Timestamp if you enable that option; otherwise they remain as strings. Arrays of tables become repeated messages. No data is lost, but field names are sanitized to match proto naming conventions (lowercase with underscores).

Is TOML-TO-PROTOBUF free to use?
