Is there a easy way (or a package I am not aware of) to unmarshal dictionaries provided from the TOML parser [https://github.com/wildart/TOML.jl](https://github.com/wildart/TOML.jl) into Julia types (struct) ?

[https://github.com/lwabeke/Unmarshal.jl](https://github.com/lwabeke/Unmarshal.jl) maybe (the original file format doesn’t really matter since the parsed result is used).

Seems to work with TOML after a first quick check. Thanks!

It was/is always my intention to expand and test support for other syntax formats. I just have not had a chance to get around to it.

If you are using it with something other than the JSON.jl package, I would be interested in a PR to increase the test cases to help ensure that any future changes doesn’t break existing working integration.  
And/or highlighting problem cases where the integration doesn’t work.
