JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) and INI (Initialization) are both widely used formats for storing and transferring structured data.
JSON is a lightweight data interchange format that is easy for humans to read and write. It is primarily composed of key-value pairs and arrays, making it ideal for representing hierarchical data structures. JSON is commonly used for transmitting data between a server and a web application due to its simplicity and versatility.
On the other hand, INI files are simple text files that consist of sections, keys, and values. They are commonly used for storing configuration settings in various software applications. INI files are human-readable and often used for storing settings in a hierarchical manner.
When converting data from INI to JSON format, each section in the INI file is translated into an object in the JSON file. Key-value pairs within each section are represented as properties of the corresponding object in the JSON file.
