Describe the feature request

$ frps -c /etc/frp/frps.toml
result
json: unknown field "bind_addr"

I would like to have set the settings with a more human readalble format like .ini oder .toml instead of json for JAVA

switch like --config-toml
frps --cconfig-toml /etc/frp/frps.toml
or
frps --cconfig-ini /etc/frp/frps.ini
would be a nice feature.

Don't use bind_addr if you want to use toml. Read the docs first.

I understand, but I read the docs.
frpc and frps are transforming toml first internal to JSON and if there is a typo in the config by changing .ini to .toml, than the frpc and frsp are displaying an error with "JSON".
The error is misleading, because I used toml, but frpc and frps are exposing internal programming to the user.
Thats ok, the program is with version 0. just in beta and using very high CPU rate. Maybe version 1 will be better.
thank yyou and bye
