This change brings back support for the unstable.Unmarshaler interface
for tables and array tables, addressing issue #873.
Key changes:
- Changed UnmarshalTOML signature from (*Node) to ([]byte) to provide
raw TOML bytes instead of AST nodes
- Added RawMessage type (similar to json.RawMessage) for capturing raw
TOML bytes for later processing
- Updated handleKeyValuesUnmarshaler to reconstruct key-value lines
from the parsed keys and raw value bytes
- Added support for slice types implementing Unmarshaler (e.g., RawMessage)
- Removed unused AST helper functions from unstable/ast.go
The bytes-based interface allows users to:
- Get raw TOML bytes for custom parsing
- Delay TOML decoding using RawMessage
- Implement custom unmarshaling logic for complex types
Tests added for:
- Table unmarshaler with various scenarios
- Array table unmarshaler
- Split tables (same parent defined in multiple places)
- RawMessage usage
- Nested tables and mixed regular fields
Extend the unstable.Unmarshaler interface support to work with tables
and array tables, not just single values.
When a type implementing unstable.Unmarshaler is the target of a table
(e.g., [table] or [[array]]), the UnmarshalTOML method receives a
synthetic InlineTable node containing all the key-value pairs belonging
to that table.
Key changes:
- Add handleKeyValuesUnmarshaler to collect and process table content
- Add copyExpressionNodes to deep-copy AST nodes for synthetic tables
- Add helper functions in unstable/ast.go for node manipulation
- Update documentation for EnableUnmarshalerInterface
- Add comprehensive tests for table and array table unmarshaling
Removes all unsafe operations from go-toml, making the codebase
fully safe Go code. The internal/danger package that contained
unsafe operations has been deleted.
Changes:
- Replace pointer-based node navigation with index-based navigation
- Node.next and Node.child now store absolute indices into the
backing nodes slice instead of relative offsets
- Add nodes pointer to Node and Iterator for safe navigation
- Replace danger.TypeID with reflect.Type for cache keys
- Delete internal/danger package entirely
Performance overhead is under 10% compared to the unsafe version,
which is acceptable for the safety and maintainability benefits.

As recommended, an `internal/assert` package was added with a reduced set of assertions. All tests were then refactored to use the internal assertions. When more complex assertions were used, they have been rewritten using logic and the simplified assertions.
Fancy formatting for failures was omitted. The `internal/assert/assertions.diff` function could be overwritten for better formatting. That is where diff libraries are used in other test suites.

Parser did not track the location of the faulty inline table in the
document, and unmarshaler tried to the use the non-raw data field of the
AST node, both resulting into a panic when generating the parser error.
