ARI at a glance
ARI
Convert to ARI when maintaining compatibility with ARRI-originated raw image workflows or preserving frame data for grading and finishing.

TOML at a glance
TOML
Convert to TOML when the output is a human-maintained configuration or project metadata file that benefits from typed values and a clean structure.
It is a strong target for developer tooling, package configuration, and settings files that need to remain approachable in version control.
For API payloads or broadly standardized machine exchange, JSON may still be the more common option.
