How to convert JSON to INI

  1. Step 1 – Input JSON Object

    • Paste JSON data with key-value pairs. Root-level keys become global INI properties.
    • Nested objects (e.g., "database": { ... }) become sections like [database].
    • Import from file or URL if you have existing JSON data.

  2. Step 2 – Convert to INI

    • The tool automatically formats the data into standard INI syntax.
    • Global keys appear at the top, followed by sections.
    • Arrays are stringified or comma-separated depending on complexity.

  3. Step 3 – Save INI File

    • Copy valid INI generated text for Windows config files or PHP configs.
    • Download the .ini file for your application deployment.
Example: JSON to INI
// Input JSON
{
  "app_name": "MyApp",
  "database": {
    "host": "localhost",
    "port": 5432
  }
}

// Output INI
app_name = MyApp

[database]
host = localhost
port = 5432

Frequently Asked Questions

How are JSON objects converted to INI sections?

Nested JSON objects become INI sections with square brackets. Root-level properties are placed at the top of the file without sections.

How are arrays handled in INI format?

Arrays are converted to comma-separated values. Complex nested arrays or objects within arrays are serialized as JSON strings.

Can I convert JSON data directly?

Yes! You can paste JSON directly into the input editor or import JSON data from various sources using the import button.

What happens to special characters in values?

Values containing spaces, semicolons, or hash symbols are automatically quoted to preserve them in the INI format.

Is my data secure?

Yes, all data processing happens entirely in your browser. Your JSON data is never sent to any server, ensuring complete privacy and security.
