INI Parser
Paste INI text to break it down into readable components — with a field-by-field breakdown and, where relevant, its structure tree. Everything is processed on your device.
Everything runs in your browser. Your data is never sent to our servers.
Example
Example Input
[server] host = localhost
Example Output
server.host = localhost
How to Use
- 1Paste the INI text you want to parse into the input box.
- 2If the tool asks for an extra field (e.g. a JSON Pointer or JSONPath), fill it too.
- 3Click Parse (or press Ctrl+Enter).
- 4See the component breakdown in the Components tab, the tree structure in the Tree tab (when available), and the normalized JSON in the JSON tab. Click Copy to copy the JSON.
About INI Parser
INI Parser breaks an INI-format config file into key-value pairs, with support for [section] headers that become dotted keys. Useful for reading INI-style config files like php.ini, .gitconfig, or application settings.
The result is shown as a list of dotted keys (e.g. server.host) and as a JSON object.
FAQ
Is my data sent to a server?
No. The entire parsing is done in your browser with JavaScript. Nothing is uploaded, logged, or stored on our servers — safe for sensitive data.
How is this parser different from a validator or formatter?
A parser turns raw input into its component structure so you can see its building blocks (and, for code, its AST/DOM tree). A validator only checks valid/invalid, and a formatter just tidies the layout. A parser focuses on "what it contains and how it is structured".
