JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) and INI (Initialization) are both popular formats used for storing and transferring structured data. While JSON is commonly used for transmitting data between a server and a web application, INI files are often used for configuration settings in various software applications.
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. INI files, on the other hand, are simple text files that consist of sections, keys, and values. They are commonly used for storing configuration settings in a human-readable format.
When converting data from JSON to INI format, each key-value pair in the JSON object is translated into a corresponding key-value pair in the INI file. JSON arrays are typically represented as multiple values under the same key in the INI file.
