The core implementation of an AST based, idiomatic INI parser which aims to provide an easy to implement and consistent INI-standard.
This reference implementation is provided as Rust-library and WASM-package.
The work on this project started with the search for an universal parser for the EditorConfig INI file format specification.
To use from Web Assembly, compile with:
sh
wasm-pack build --release --target nodejs
and run the (limited) WASM tests with:
sh
wasm-pack test --node
You can call the genereted JS wrapper with either:
```js import { parse_to_json } from './pkg/editorconfig_ini.js'
const results = parse_to_json(` root = true
[*]
end_of_line = lf `)
// { // "version": "0.1.0", // "body": [ // { "type": "Pair", "key": "root", "value": "true" }, // { // "type": "Section", // "name": "*", // "body": [ // { "type": "Comment", "indicator": "#", "value": "always use unix line endings" }, // { "type": "Pair", "key": "end_of_line", "value": "lf" } // ] // } // ] // } ```
or:
``js
import { parse_to_uint32array, TokenTypes } from './pkg/editorconfig_ini.js'
const buf = Buffer.from(
root = true
[*]
end_of_line = lf `, 'utf8') const ary = parse_to_uint32array(buf)
// Array with token type, start byte offset, end byte offset for each token // Uint32Array(21) [ // TokenTypes.Key, 1, 5, // TokenTypes.Value, 8, 12, // TokenTypes.Section, 15, 16, // TokenTypes.CommentIndicator, 18, 19, // TokenTypes.CommentValue, 20, 48, // TokenTypes.Key, 49, 60, // TokenTypes.Value, 63, 65 // ] ```
