myini

Myini is a lightweight, open-source library designed to read, manipulate, and write configuration files in the INI format. It provides a simple API to access sections, keys, and values while preserving comments and formatting when possible.

Key features include support for sections and keys, comment handling (lines beginning with a semicolon or a hash), basic data typing (strings, numbers, booleans), and straightforward error reporting. The library emphasizes a small footprint and predictable behavior across platforms.

Typical use cases include loading application configuration at startup, validating user preferences, and exporting modified configurations for storage or transfer. It is designed to be usable in standalone programs or as a component within larger software systems.

The project has been implemented in multiple languages and is maintained by an open-source community. Documentation provides installation guidance, API references, and examples to illustrate common tasks such as reading values, updating entries, and writing files.

Myini originated as a small utility and has grown through community contributions. It is distributed under an open-source license and welcomes forks, external contributors, and portability improvements.
