Xfig at a glance

Xfig

Xfig began in 1985 and accumulated decades of maintenance and export tooling, which made the .fig format a durable bridge between interactive diagram editing on Unix systems and downstream conversion to PostScript, PDF, and other outputs.

TOML at a glance

TOML

TOML is closely associated with Tom Preston-Werner and the need for a simpler, more obvious configuration syntax for software projects.

For API payloads or broadly standardized machine exchange, JSON may still be the more common option.

What changes when converting Xfig to TOML?

This conversion changes how the format behaves in downstream tools and delivery environments.
