mINI
A tiny, header-only C++ library for reading, writing, and manipulating INI files with lazy write and formatting preservation.
What is mINI?
mINI is a header-only C++ library for reading, writing, and manipulating INI configuration files. It solves the problem of managing configuration data in a human-readable format while preserving file structure, comments, and custom formatting during updates. The library offers lazy writing, which only applies changes, and supports both case-insensitive and case-sensitive operations.
C++ developers who need to handle INI configuration files in their applications, particularly those working on projects where maintaining file formatting and comments is important, such as game development, desktop applications, or tools with user-editable configs.
Developers choose mINI for its simplicity, zero-dependency header-only design, and ability to preserve INI file formatting and comments. Its lazy write feature and safe data access methods provide reliability and control, making it a lightweight alternative to more complex configuration libraries.
