JSON to INI converter

How to use it

1. Enter json text.
2. The result appears straight away and updates as you edit.
3. Copy the result, or copy a link that keeps the same values to share it.

How it is calculated

First-level plain values go at the top of the file and every first-level object becomes a [name] section. Anything deeper becomes a dotted key such as nested.key, and list items become numbered keys like list.0. Values that are empty, contain ; or #, have edge spaces or look like numbers are quoted.

Example

Result: INI: app = toolsahla version = 2.1.0 port = 8080 debug = false languages.0 = ar languages.1 = en [database] host = localhost user = admin timeout = 30 ; Sections: 1.

{
  "app": "toolsahla",
  "version": "2.1.0",
  "port": 8080,
  "debug": false,
  "languages": ["ar", "en"],
  "database": {
    "host": "localhost",
    "user": "admin",
    "timeout": 30
  }
}

app = toolsahla
version = 2.1.0
port = 8080
debug = false
languages.0 = ar
languages.1 = en

[database]
host = localhost
user = admin
timeout = 30

Limits and caveats

• INI has no single standard; the tool writes the most common form.
• Multi-line values are not allowed and give an error.
• null is written as an empty value.
