Fast INI File Support

Packages for parsing and formatting INI files with great performance.

Although reading configuration is usually not the time-critical part of the application, sometimes it may be so. For example, when many localisation texts are stored in INI files, loading them may take longer. This package attempts to process INI file contents as fast as possible, while focusing on the original INI file format.

  • Extremely fast.
  • Offers ES, CJS and UMD modules.
  • Includes TypeScript types.
  • No dependencies.
  • Tiny size:
    • parser - 4.47 kB minified, 1.95 kB gzipped, 1.79 kB brotlied.
    • reader - 736 B minified, 482 B gzipped, 409 B brotlied.
    • writer - 367 B minified, 263 B gzipped, 235 B brotlied.
