When converting to XML there is typically an "extra" root level ObjectNode wrapper, if using default serialization.
But in most cases it should be effectively replaced so that

• If (and only if) conversion results in an ObjectNode with exactly 1 entry with ObjectNode...
• ... then remove outermost ObjectNode and force use of key of that one entry as "root name"
• Otherwise just use the default logic (if converting ArrayNode, somehow; or (more likely) ObjectNode with more than 1 entry)

This will result in more intuitive transformation results for most cases.

Default icon for browsers is not super neat. Let's find something better.

Although it should be relatively easy to support schema-requiring formats like Avro, Protobuf, if schema for input/output were available, it is not trivial to deal with UI side.

So how should things work? Separate upload of schemas? But scoped how? With expiration?

Now that Jackson 2.12.3 is out with preview of TOML format module, let's add that in; should work similar to, say, YAML.

One question tho: given that reading side works fine, but output is bit rough (produces what to casual observer would look like Properties output...), should we only add it as input format?
Or add something in output selection to indicate it is "ugly-print"?
