config.{json,yaml,toml}

What are TOML, JSON and YAML files? What are they good for?

TOML, JSON and YAML are file interchange formats that allow you to save data structures on your disk. OmniOpt2 allows you to load parameters via --config_toml path/to/your/configuration.toml , --config_json path/to/your/configuration.json or --config_yaml path/to/your/configuration.yaml .
Basically, any parameter that can be given to the CLI can also be given over one of those two options. You can also merge CLI parameters with config-files, while CLI parameters take precedence.
Only one of these can be used. You cannot, for example, use --config_toml and --config_json together.
