## Project history and usage

Tombi is a modern TOML toolkit that combines a formatter, linter, and language server. Its documentation positions it as a response to TOML's growing role in developer configuration files, especially `pyproject.toml` in Python and `Cargo.toml` in Rust.

### Project history

The official docs say Tombi was created to support teams that use TOML as a configuration format and to provide a reliable development experience for TOML files. The README and repository show a multi-surface project: CLI tooling, editor integrations, schemas, docs, and language-server behavior all live in the same upstream project.

### Adoption history

Tombi's README badges show distribution across editor and package ecosystems: VS Code Marketplace, Open VSX, JetBrains Marketplace, Zed, Homebrew, PyPI, and npm. The input metadata also records Homebrew, MacPorts, Nix, Arch, Scoop, and winget packaging, which is typical for language tooling that wants to be easy to install inside editors and CI.

### How it is used

The docs divide the tool into formatter, linter, CLI, language server, editor integration, configuration, environment variables, JSON Schema support, directives, and extensions. The README's quick start shows `uvx tombi format`, while Homebrew exposes the `tombi` executable for local formatting, linting, and LSP use.

### Why package nerds care

For package nerds, Tombi is interesting because it treats TOML as a first-class language-tooling target rather than a passive config format. Its value is strongest in polyglot repos where TOML files control Python, Rust, package metadata, tool settings, and editor behavior.

### Timeline

- Current: Official docs describe Tombi as a TOML formatter, linter, and language server.
- Current: README badges show availability through editor marketplaces and package registries including Homebrew, PyPI, and npm.

### Related projects

- The official docs compare Tombi's role to established YAML and JSON language-server/editor support, and emphasize TOML use in Python and Rust ecosystems.
