Details

An INI file is a text file which is splitted into one or more sections, each section containing key = value assignments.
It is a traditional configuration file format in MSDOS and Windows world, using .INI or .ini filename extension.

Example:

; Comment

[SECTION1]
key1 = value
key2 = value

[SECTION2]
key1 = value
key2 = value
...

The ini format is an early extensible configuration file format, which also reached other platforms.
A parser can ignore sections and keys it is not interested in. INI is human readable and editable.

Today XML and JSON are more flexible configuration file formats, but they are not human readable and editable..
Both are very sensitive to syntax and structure errors, a single character can break an entire file. INI is more robust.
