Tom's Obvious, Minimal Language. By Tom Preston-Werner, Pradyun Gedam, et al. TOML aims to be a minimal configuration file format that's easy to read due to obvious semantics. TOML is designed to map unambiguously to a hash table. TOML should be easy to parse into data structures in a wide variety of languages. TOML shares traits with other file formats used for application configuration and data serialization, such as YAML and JSON. TOML and JSON both are simple and use ubiquitous data types, making them easy to code for or parse with machines. ...

...However, jsonfield is still useful when your app needs to be database-agnostic, or when the built-in JSONField's extended querying is not being leveraged. e.g., a configuration field. JSONField is not intended to provide extended querying capabilities. That said, you may perform the same basic lookups provided by regular text fields (e.g., exact or regex lookups). Since values are stored as serialized JSON, it is highly recommended that you test your queries to ensure the expected results are returned.
