Show HN: TOML Support for Kotlinx.serialization

Hello folks, recently I've updated my kotlinx.serialization plugin which focuses on TOML, a configuration file format. I'd like to post it on HN for more feedbacks. :)

This library works much like the official JSON format, where you use Toml as entrypoint, Toml.encodeToString to encode almost any data structures (if is custom class then @Serializable is needed for sure) into TOML-file-like strings, and decodeFromString to reverse the process. In addition, Toml.parseToTomlTable allows you to just parse the TOML-file-like strings into TomlTable, which behaves like JsonObject from the official JSON as well. Then you could access each entry by key like myConfig["version"]. For more information, check out https://github.com/Peanuuutz/tomlkt.
