## initial - INI parsing library for the D programming language My attempt at making a sane and high-quality INI parsing library for D. ```ini [section] key = value ``` An INI file's contents is stored in an `INIUnit` structure. This contains multiple `INISection`s stored in an associative array that you can read or set yourself. initial also provides serialisation facilities that can turn `INIUnit`s and `INISection`s back into an INI document. Handy for if your program has some sort of GUI configuration interface or if you're passing around INI through a network connection. ## Demo ```d INIUnit ini; /* write INI data to an INIUnit */ ini["section"]["key"] = "value"; ini["section"]["num"] = "4.8"; /* read INI data */ readINI(ini, ` [section] num = 5.3 `); assert(ini["section"]["key"] == "value"); assert(ini["section"]["num"] == "5.3"); /* read INI from file */ readINIFile(ini, "config.ini"); /* write INI to file */ import std.file : write; write("config.ini", ini.serialise()); ``` ## Usage Download initial.d and put it somewhere in your import path, then compile it alongside your program and link it in. Or you can do it all at once by using -i. ``` dmd -i -of=program program.d ```
