Panini 1.2.0

Panini

A simple .NET library for INI files parsing.

Here's an example on how to use Panini in order to create, parse and update your INIs. The main focus is on chainable methods and being able to build multiple sections with the same name.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Panini;

// Your ini file path
var iniPath = "./test.ini";

// If a file at the given path exists, Panini will parse it.
// Otherwise, an empty INI structure will be built

IniFile parsedIni = new IniFile(iniPath);

// Extract a section and add a new value
parsedIni.GetSection("General")?.Add("AnotherKey", "AnotherValue");

// Extracts a key from the section
string? value = parsedIni.GetSection("General")?.Get("AnotherKey");

// Extracts all the sections for the given name
List<IniSection> sections = parsedIni.GetSections("User");

// Iterates through all the sections
sections.ForEach(s => Console.WriteLine($"Username is : {s.Get("Name")}"));

// Adds a new section (in this case, a new user entry)
parsedIni.AddSection("User").TryAdd("Name", "Paul")?.TryAdd("Surname", "Jacob");

// Write the changes
parsedIni.Save();

// Now the ini file should be updated or created at the given path
