I've always had a soft spot for the classic .INI style configuration. Modding command and conquer through "rules.ini" was always an adventure.

- edoceo 6y agoIt's 2020 and I'm still using them for configs. Section, key, value seems to fit so nice for me. But! I'm only using INI for the simple (like bootstrap level) of the apps - once it's up start using like etcd, or other fancier stuff
- edflsafoiewq 6y agoOne nice thing about INI is it's really easy to modify programmatically (without eg. losing comments).
- csb6 6y agoI also like how it just does one thing: key/values. It doesn’t try to be a complex serialization format or its own full language - it’s just keys and their values. Granted, sometimes data needs to have more structure, but for settings/flags INI is very good.
- m463 6y agoI used python configparser and there's a grey area when configs are merged (like default stuff and user-config'd stuff)
