NINI
This parser aims to be the smallest possible while supporting a sufficient subset of the INI format. The parser is meant for use in embedded applications.
When compiled for a bare metal Cortex-M0, the whole parser fits in 336 bytes of Flash and 30 (+buffers) bytes of RAM.
Features
- Basic INI format support
- Accepts both Unix and DOS newlines
- Minimal memory footprint
- The input file can be loaded in multiple pieces of any size.
- Buffer sizes (section, key, value) can be configured in the header file.
- Custom data
void *
for maintaining user context, passed to the callback
Sypported syntax
Any whitespace, except inside a value, is discarded.
- Sections -
[section.name]
- Key-value pairs -
key.foo-bar_baz123 = value lorem ipsum 123
- Value can contain whitespace, leading and trailing whitespace is removed.
- Ends with either
\r
or\n
- Comment
# comment ...
- Ends with either
\r
or\n
- Ends with either
Limitations
- Not re-entrant, uses a static state variable
- No checks for invalid syntax
- Whitespace inside keys and section names is removed
- Quoted strings and escape sequences are not supported, will be collected as plain text
- Value can't be followed by an inline comment

for an example of the most basic usage; see the header file for more details on the API.
