Light INI parser

This library implements an event-driven parser for the INI file format.

It doesn't load data in a container. It's an alternative to rust-ini that avoids building an intermediate hash map if it's not necessary.

[dependencies]
light_ini = "0.3"

See the documentation and examples for details.

Format

• There is no limitation in the names of the properties.

• Comments are only allowed in their own line. The default character to start a comment is ;. Use IniParser::with_start_comment to use a different character such as #.

• There is no escape or quoting characters

Light Ini file parser.

light-ini implements an event-driven parser for the INI file format. The handler must implement IniHandler.

use light_ini::{IniHandler, IniParser, IniHandlerError};

struct Handler {}

impl IniHandler for Handler {
    type Error = IniHandlerError;

    fn section(&mut self, name: &str) -> Result<(), Self::Error> {
        println!("section {}", name);
        Ok(())
    }

    fn option(&mut self, key: &str, value: &str) -> Result<(), Self::Error> {
        println!("option {} is {}", key, value);
        Ok(())
    }

    fn comment(&mut self, comment: &str) -> Result<(), Self::Error> {
        println!("comment: {}", comment);
        Ok(())
    }
}

let mut handler = Handler{};
let mut parser = IniParser::new(&mut handler);
parser.parse_file("example.ini");
