Parse and format INI
Parse and format INI configuration, preserving section, comments, and empty values, and report duplicate keys.
How to use INI for parsing and formatting
INI parsing and formatting process input only in the current browser; they do not upload data, connect to the internet, or write to persistent storage.
Enter INI
Use the default duplicate URL example or paste your own configuration.
Check structure
View section, key-value pairs, duplicate keys, and syntax warnings.
Format output
Choose a sort or newline style, then copy the configuration and manually confirm the override semantics.
Limitations and Notes
- Different INI implementations may interpret case sensitivity, duplicate keys, and quotation marks differently.
- The tool does not expand variables, execute scripts, or start services corresponding to the configuration.
- Overly long lines and excessively deep input are limited; formatting does not guarantee preserving all non-standard extensions.
FAQ
What happens with duplicate keys?
Duplicate records are displayed; the tool does not silently assume that the last value is always correct.
Will it modify the original configuration?
No, the result is new text.
Is it suitable for direct production use?
It can be used for local checking and cleanup, but it must still be validated against the target program before release.
