A gitconfig flavored Ini parser for javascript

Primary LanguageJavaScript

Ini parser

An Ini file parser following the git-config flawor. It should work on most Javascript enviroments, including web browsers, although its utility there is debatable :)

Check the supported syntax at http://linux.die.net/man/1/git-config

Example

// Create a new parser 
var ini = new Ini();

ini.parse([
    'prop = value',
    '[sect]',
    'foo = bar',
    'baz = yes',
    '[sect "label"]',
    'foo = "bar"',
    'baz = off'
].join('\n'));

ini.get('prop')           // value
ini.get('sect.foo')       // bar
ini.get('sect:label.baz') // false

ini.toObject()            // {prop: value, sect: { foo: bar, baz: true } ...}
ini.toString()            // Generates back the ini file

// It's also to modify or build an ini file programatically
var sect = ini.section('newsect', 'mylabel');
sect.comment('My comment');
sect.property('foo', 'bar');
