Whether the package preserves the order of the keys while dumps a python dictionary.
Thus, whether <package>.dumps({"c": 1, "a": 2, "b": 3})
yields a string
like c = 1\na = 2\nb = 3\n
.

Whether the package preserves the order of the keys while loads a TOML string.
Thus, whether <package>.loads('c = 1\na = 2\nb = 3\n')
yields
a dictionary with keys in the order of ['c', 'a', 'b']
.

How the package loads a file with unicode.
The file was created by:
# Create a file with unicode content
with open(self.datafile, "w", encoding="utf-8") as f:
f.write('"你好" = "世界"\n')
# Use `<package>.load()` to load the file
with open(self.datafile, "r", encoding="utf-8") as f:
loaded = <package>.load(f)
Loaded as | |
---|---|
toml | {'你好': '世界'} |
tomli/tomli_w | File must be opened in binary mode, e.g. use open('foo.toml', 'rb') When loaded with rb :{'你好': '世界'} |
tomlkit | {'你好': '世界'} |
rtoml | {'你好': '世界'} |
qtoml | {'你好': '世界'} |
tomllib | File must be opened in binary mode, e.g. use open('foo.toml', 'rb') When loaded with rb :{'你好': '世界'} |
Test the compliance with the standard test suites for valid toml files here:
The tests come up with a JSON counterpart that can be used to valid whether loading the toml file yields the same result as the JSON counterpart.
