Broccolini is a non-destructive parser for INI files.
The main goal is compatibility with the INI format used in Windows OS (GetPrivateProfileString
and friends).
var document = IniParser.ParseToSemanticModel(File.ReadAllText("config.ini"));
string databaseServer = document["database"]["server"];
string databasePort = document["database"]["port"];
var document = IniParser.Parse(File.ReadAllText("config.ini"));
var updated = document
.WithSection("owner", section => section.WithKeyValue("name", "John Doe"))
.UpdateSection("database", section => section.RemoveKeyValue("port"));
File.WriteAllText("config.ini", updated.ToString(), Encoding.Unicode);
This library is feature-complete and stable. Contributions are welcome, please create an issue first for discussion.
While Broccolini tries to replicate most of the behaviour found in the Windows APIs, there are still some intentional differences:
GetPrivateProfileString
does not support keys or section names that contain NULL characters (\0
). \
Broccolini supports such keys and section names.WritePrivateProfileString
.GetPrivateProfileString
breaks when a unicode file contains a non-trailing NULL character (\0
). \
Broccolini supports such files.Parse
→ ToString
