# jc.parsers.ini
jc - JSON Convert INI file parser
Parses standard INI files.
- 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.
- If any section names have the same name as a top-level key, the top-level
key will be overwritten by the section data.
> 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()`.

$ cat foo.ini | jc --ini
Usage (module):
