# INI to JSON

`ini-to-json` · version 1.0.0 · YAML, TOML, INI, XML & TSV · free, no key needed

Convert an INI string to a JSON object.

**Use when you need to: ini to json · parse ini · convert ini to json.**

## Supported

- ini to json
- parse ini
- convert ini to json

## Not supported

- json to ini
- read files
- fetch urls

## Behavior

- Parses INI syntax and returns the equivalent JSON representation.
- Coerces "true", "false", and "null" literals into JSON types; numbers remain strings.
- Duplicate keys silently take the last defined value.
- Prototype injection keys (e.g. __proto__) are safely dropped.

## Output

- object

## Limits

- max input bytes: 262144

    "name": "Ada",
    "city": "London"
  }
