A Go library for reading and writing INI configuration files. It supports multiple data sources, parent-child sections, comments, type conversion, and struct mapping.
Use cases
- parse ini config files in go
- read my.cnf or gitconfig style files
- write ini files with comments preserved
- map ini configuration to go structs
- load config from file, bytes, or reader
When to choose
- your Go app uses INI-format configuration
- you need to preserve comments and key order when saving
- you want automatic type conversion and struct mapping
When to avoid
- you use YAML, TOML, or JSON instead of INI
- you need a non-Go language binding
