 feather-ini-parser
 ==================

 Intuitive, fast, lightweight, header, portable INI parser for ANSI C++.

 ```
 INI<> ini("filename.ini", true); // Open and parse
 ini.get("section", "key", "value", "default"); // Get section -> key -> value, return "default" if not found
 ini.set("section", "key", "value"); // Set section -> key -> value
 ini.save(); // Save over initial file

 for(auto i: ini.sections) // Loop through all sections
 {
   String section = i.first;

   for(auto j: *i.second) // Loop through all key/values
      String key = j.first, value = j.second;
 }
 ```

 ## Methods

 Statement     | Return Type
 ------------- | -------------
 ini(filename, doParse)|constructor
 ini(data, dataSize, doParse)|constructor
 ini.parse()|bool
 ini.merge(other INI, retainValues)|void
 ini.create(section)|bool
 ini.select(section)|bool
 ini.set(key, value)|bool
 ini.get(key, dvalue = value_t())|dvalue_t
 ini.save(filename = "")|bool
 ini.clear()|bool
 ini[section][key]|value_t&
 ini[section]|keys_t&

 ## Example
 ```
 // Please view the complete list of examplex in 'example/example.cpp'

 #include <iostream>
 #include <String>
 #include "INI.h"

 using namespace std;
 ```
 ...
 ```
 INI<> ini("filename.ini", true); // Load file and parse

 ini.create("section1"); //Create a section and select it (into the active context)
 ini.set("key", "value");
 // Set equivelant
 ini.set("section1", "key", "value");
 // Set equivelant (non-safe, performance)
 ini["section1"]["key"] = "value";

 cout << ini.get("keynumeric", "default") << endl;
 // Get equivelant
 cout << ini.get("section1", "keynumeric", "default") << endl;

 ini.save();

 // Loop through all sections and keys (CPP11)
 for(auto i: ini.sections)
 {
   String section = i.first;
   cout << "[" << section << "]" << endl;

   for(auto j: *i.second)
   {
      String key = j.first, value = j.second;
      cout << " " << key << "=" << value << endl;
   }
 }
 ```

 ## More
 Please see the example .cpp file and Code::Blocks .cbp project for a compilable GCC and VSC++ example. Further examples include enabling wide char support.
