Description
Ultra light weight ini file parser
Ini files and data
Consider a simple ini file config.ini like this:
[something] foo = bar [something else] answer = 42 name = Boaty McBoatface
There are two sections (inbetween "[" and "]") defined, "something"
and "something else". These sections contain a dictionary of strings each,
the keys being some string followed by "=", and anything else until end of
the line as values. The leading and trailing spaces in section headers, keys
and values are trimmed.
readIniFileStrings :: FilePath -> IO (Map String (Map String String)) Source #
Like readIniFile, but results in a stringified nested map
Ini data is a Map of Maps
As ini files consist of sections with a name, each with a list of
key-value pairs, A "two-dimensional" Map of Strings seems to be very
natural. However, since the formatting of ini files doesn't allow arbitrary
arbitrary characters, restricted types are used here, that are thin wrappers
around Strings:
