parse

var parser = require('ini-parser-encoder');
// sync
var config = parser.parseFileSync(INI_FILE, sub_separator, process_section, file_encoding, return_number_as_string);
// async
var parser.parseFile(INI_FILE, function(err, data) {
    if (err) {
        //
    } else {
        //
    }
}, sub_separator, process_section, file_encoding, return_number_as_string)

subSeparator

processSection

By default, will process section [section] as object property, you can pass false to disable it.

        itemb: true
    }
}
var strIni = parser.encode(obj);
// save to file

booltest = true
numbertest = 1
floattest = 2.22
floattesta = 0.333
notfloattest = .4444
; this is comment
[sectionA]
# # comment not recommend
itemarray[] = a
itemarray[] = b
itemarray[] = c
