This guide explains when to use TOML Validator, how to get a cleaner result,
and which mistakes to avoid before moving on to related tools or the main tool page.

How to use TOML Validator

Validating config files copied from docs or examples
Catching broken TOML before startup or script failures
Reviewing sections and arrays during debugging
Confirming TOML correctness before converting it to JSON
Common mistakes
Broken table or section syntax
Fix: Make sure every section header is complete, for example [server] instead of [server.
