#parsing

Convert between INI configuration files and JSON, in both directions. The parse endpoint reads INI text — sections ([section]), nested sections ([database.replica]), key=value pairs, comments and repeated keys (arrays) — into a clean JSON object; the stringify endpoint turns a JSON object back into a properly formatted INI file. INI is the config format used by Git (.gitconfig), PHP (php.ini), systemd units, desktop entries, tox/setup.cfg, many CLI tools and Windows software. Perfect for editing config programmatically, migrating settings between formats, and reading config in environments that only speak JSON. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant; send large files via POST. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. Complements the YAML, TOML, CSV and XML converters and is distinct from each.

Work with ISO-8601 durations — the PnYnMnDTnHnMnS strings (P3Y6M4DT12H30M5S, PT1H30M) used across calendars, scheduling, video metadata, billing periods and APIs. Parse a duration into its components and a total in seconds and milliseconds; format a number of seconds (or individual year/month/week/day/hour/minute/second fields) back into a canonical ISO-8601 string; humanise any duration into readable text ("1 hour and 30 minutes"); and measure the exact duration between two instants (ISO timestamps or unix epochs) as both an ISO-8601 string and a precise second count. Years and months use documented calendar averages and are clearly flagged as approximate. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 5 endpoints. Distinct from date/time parsing and relative-time ("3 hours ago") formatting.
