    What this tool does

    Convert INI ↔ JSON locally, including section headers ([section]) and key/value pairs. This is useful for config files, legacy apps, and debugging settings without sending sensitive data to third-party converters.

    Common pitfalls

    INI is not fully standardized: comment styles vary (; vs #), duplicate keys may exist, and some files use key: value instead of key=value. If parsing fails, fix the first reported line and try again.
