+++ title = "Another Hugo Post" description = "Nothing special, but one post is boring." date = "2014-04-09" categories = [ "example", "configuration" ] tags = [ "example", "hugo", "toml" ] +++ TOML, YAML, JSON - Oh my! ------------------------- One of the nifty Hugo features we should cover: flexible configuration and front matter formats! This entry has front matter in `toml`, unlike the last one which used `yaml`, and `json` is also available if that's your preference. The `toml` front matter used on this entry: ``` +++ title = "Another Hugo Post" description = "Nothing special, but one post is boring." date = "2014-04-09" categories = [ "example", "configuration" ] tags = [ "example", "hugo", "toml" ] +++ ``` This flexibility also extends to your site's global configuration file. You're free to use any format you prefer, simply name the file `config.yaml`, `config.toml`, or `config.json` and go on your merry way. JSON Example ------------ How would this entry's front matter look in `json`? That's easy enough to demonstrate: ``` { "title": "Another Hugo Post", "description": "Nothing special, but one post is boring.", "date": "2014-04-09", "categories": [ "example", "configuration" ], "tags": [ "example", "hugo", "toml" ], } ```
