mINI ▫️

• mINI is a minimal .INI reader/writer (C++11)
• Basic usage around std::map<key,value> wrapper.
• Extendable, key/value types can be redefined (variant sample included).
• Relaxed spec supported: key=value, key=, and key.
• Tiny (~75 LOC), cross-platform, self-contained and header-only.
• Zlib/libpng licensed.

Showcase

#include <iostream>
#include <cassert>

#include "mini.hpp"

int main() {
    // load file
    std::string content =
    "; this is a comment\n"
    "[test\t]\r\n"
    "number = 123\n"
    " \tstring=hello world\r";

    // load content
    mINI ini;
    bool ok = ini.load( content );

    // tests
    assert( ini["test.number"] == "123" );         // symbol value
    assert( ini["test.string"] == "hello world" ); // symbol value

    assert( ini.line("test.number") == 3 );        // line number
    assert( ini.line("test.string") == 4 );        // line number

    // append new symbols
    ini["added.number"] = "456";
    ini["added.string"] = "new string";

    // save and print
    std::cout << ini.save() << std::endl;
}
