+//! A TOML-parsing library

+//! This library is an implementation in Rust of a parser for TOML configuration

+//! and detailed error messages when things go wrong.
+//!
+//! This implementation currently passes the language agnostic [test suite][2].

+//! # Example

+//! ```
+//! let toml = r#"

+//!     foo = "bar"
+//! "#;
+//!
+//! let value = toml::Parser::new(toml).parse().unwrap();
