# jc.parsers.ini_dup
jc - JSON Convert INI with duplicate key file parser
Parses standard INI files and preserves duplicate values. All values are
contained in lists/arrays.
- Delimiter can be `=` or `:`. Missing values are supported.
- Comment prefix can be `#` or `;`. Comments must be on their own line.
- If any section names have the same name as a top-level key, the top-level
key will be overwritten by the section data.
- If multi-line values are used, each line will be a separate item in the
value list. Blank lines in multi-line values are not supported.
> Note: Values starting and ending with double or single quotation marks
> will have the marks removed. If you would like to keep the quotation
> marks, use the `-r` command-line argument or the `raw=True` argument in
> `parse()`.
Usage (cli):
$ cat foo.ini | jc --ini-dup
Usage (module):
import jc
result = jc.parse('ini_dup', ini_file_output)
Schema:
INI document converted to a dictionary - see the python configparser
standard library documentation for more details.
