Frequently asked questions
How are nested objects represented?
Each top-level object becomes an INI [section]; top-level primitive values are written before any section, as global keys.
What about deeply nested objects?
INI only supports one level of sections, so only top-level objects are turned into [section] blocks — deeper nesting is serialized as a JSON string value.
Where is INI commonly used?
Classic config files for applications, PHP's php.ini, and many desktop and Windows applications still use the INI format.
