TOML VS Iframely

• Human Readable
  TOML is designed to be easy to read and write due to its simplistic syntax, which is intuitive for humans.
• Explicit Data Types
  TOML supports various data types including integers, floats, strings, dates, and arrays, which helps in expressing configurations precisely.
• Hierarchical Configuration
  Allows for nested key-value pairs through its table and array of tables structures, providing a clear way to represent hierarchical data.
• Standardized Specification
  TOML is guided by a well-defined specification which ensures consistency across different implementations.
• Lightweight
  It is a minimal and straightforward format that doesn’t require much overhead compared to some other configuration formats.

Possible disadvantages

• Limited Complex Data Structures
  TOML is not suited for highly complex data structures, which might make it less ideal for certain advanced configurations.
• Lacks Scalability Features
  With limited support for advanced features such as conditional configuration or dynamic data, it might not scale well for very large configurations.
• Not as Widely Adopted
  Compared to formats like JSON or YAML, TOML may have less community support and fewer libraries and tools available across various programming environments.
• No Native Implementation in Some Languages
  Certain programming environments do not offer native TOML parsing support, requiring third-party libraries which might affect performance or security.

• “No code”
  Instead of API calls, an option to use our HTML template and some JavaScript spice.
• JSON
  Only two endpoints to choose from and connect: complete Iframely data or a simple oEmbed connector. Both have the html field for you to embed.
• Cards and URLs previews
  Engage your users with URL preview cards, just like they expect in a modern app. Change cards design easily in your settings.
• React and JavaScript
  React, and other JavaScript runtimes won’t let you run third-party scripts. Iframely fixes this by hosting media in an iFrame instead.
• Responsive embed codes
  Rich media will resize and fit your site’s design on any device, with a correct aspect ratio or a horizontal height.
