Package ini provides INI file read and write functionality in Go.

## Features

- Load from multiple data sources(`[]byte`, file and `io.ReadCloser`) with overwrites.
- Read with recursion values.
- Read with parent-child sections.
- Read with auto-increment key names.
- Read with multiple-line values.
- Read with tons of helper methods.
- Read and convert values to Go types.
- Read and **WRITE** comments of sections and keys.
- Manipulate sections, keys and comments with ease.
- Keep sections and keys in order as you parse and save.

## Installation

The minimum requirement of Go is **1.6**.

```sh
$ go get gopkg.in/ini.v1
```

Please add `-u` flag to update in the future.

## Go Modules

For historical reason, people use two different import paths for this package: `github.com/go-ini/ini` and `gopkg.in/ini.v1`. If you get error similar to the following one:

```
go: finding github.com/go-ini/ini v0.0.0-00010101000000-000000000000
go: github.com/go-ini/ini@v0.0.0-00010101000000-000000000000: unknown revision 000000000000
go: error loading module requirements
```

It is because one of your dependencies is using deprecated import path `github.com/go-ini/ini`, you can make a quick fix by adding the following line to your `go.mod` file (`v.1.44.0` was the latest version tagged on `master` branch):

```
replace github.com/go-ini/ini => gopkg.in/ini.v1 v1.44.0
```
