When to use INI to JSON Converter
Configuration files often use INI sections while applications and deployment tooling expect JSON. This converter places keys before the first section at the document root and turns each named section into a nested object. It keeps numbers and booleans as strings so values such as leading-zero codes and explicitly written settings survive the conversion without guessed types.
How to interpret the result
INI dialects differ across platforms. This implementation supports equals-separated keys, full-line semicolon or hash comments, and simple section names. It rejects duplicate keys, repeated sections, root-key collisions and malformed lines instead of guessing which value wins. Quotes and inline comment characters remain literal parts of values. Interpolation, multiline values, dotted section expansion and PHP-style array syntax are not interpreted.
Example input
; Application configuration name=Utilixio [server] host=localhost port=3000 [features] cache=true
