Format Details
INI
INI is a simple, human-readable configuration file format that originated with early versions of Microsoft Windows. It organizes settings into named sections enclosed in square brackets, with key-value pairs defined below each section header. INI files are easy to read and edit by hand, making them a popular choice for application configuration across Windows, Linux, and cross-platform software projects.
JSON
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight, human-readable data interchange format derived from JavaScript object literal syntax. It natively supports objects, arrays, strings, numbers, booleans, and null, allowing it to represent arbitrarily nested data structures. JSON has become the universal standard for REST API responses, configuration files, and data interchange on the web, with native parsing support in virtually every programming language.
