# jc.parsers.ini
jc - JSON Convert `INI` file parser
Parses standard `INI` files and files containing simple key/value pairs.
- Delimiter can be `=` or `:`. Missing values are supported.
- Comment prefix can be `#` or `;`. Comments must be on their own line.
- If duplicate keys are found, only the last value will be used.
> Note: Values starting and ending with 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
Usage (module):
import jc
result = jc.parse('ini', ini_file_output)
Schema:
ini or key/value document converted to a dictionary - see the
configparser standard library documentation for more details.
