About INI to JSON Converter
The INI to JSON converter parses INI configuration files using a custom parser. Each `[section]` block becomes a nested JSON object. Bare `KEY=VALUE` pairs outside sections are placed on the root object. Both editors are live — swap to JSON→INI with one click. The JSON output has an interactive tree view.

Frequently Asked Questions
QAre value types auto-cast?
INI values are always strings. The converter outputs all values as JSON strings — no automatic type casting to numbers or booleans.
QIs my data sent to a server?
No. All conversion runs in a Web Worker inside your browser.
