Basic Usage

#include <init/ini.hpp>

void read()
{
  const auto ini = init::read_ini("foo.ini");  
  
  const auto& section = ini.at("section");
  
  int abc{};
  section.at("abc").get_to(abc);
  
  if (section.contains("def"))
  {
    auto def = section.at("def").as<float>();
  }
}

void write()
{
  init::ini ini;
  
  ini["section"]["abc"] = 42;
  ini["section"]["def"] = 12.3;
  
  init::write_ini(ini, "foo.ini");
}
