# Sample INI config file for testing parsers, free and CC0 1 INI test file of 468 B. A direct URL, the file's SHA-256 and CC0, so curl and CI can fetch it with no signup and no keys. The page: . INI files have no single specification, which is exactly why parsers disagree about them. `ini/config.ini` covers the differences that trip them: sections, comments starting with both `;` and `#`, quoted values, empty values, a comma-separated list, and non-ASCII characters. Each of those is a choice a parser makes silently. Some treat `#` as a comment only at the start of a line; some keep the quotes as part of the value; some drop keys whose value is empty; some read the file as ASCII and mangle anything else. Loading this file and printing what your parser saw is the fastest way to learn which choices it made. Use it to test configuration loaders such as Python's `configparser`, application settings screens, and tools that convert INI to JSON or YAML. It is served as plain text, UTF-8 with LF line endings.
