A simple, readable INI file parser and serializer for Rust, inspired by the [inih](https://github.com/benhoyt/inih) C library.

---

## Features

- ✅ Read and write INI files  
- ✅ Serde deserialization support (`HashMap` or strongly typed structs)  
- ✅ Minimal dependencies  
- ✅ Clean error reporting  
- ✅ Inspired by the simplicity of the original INIH C parser

---

## Installation

```toml
[dependencies]
inihx = "0.1"
```

---

## Example: Basic Parsing

```rust
use inihx::parse_ini_file;

fn main() -> Result<(), std::io::Error> {
    let config = parse_ini_file("config.ini")?;
    println!("{}", config["server"]["port"]);
    Ok(())
}
```

---

## Example: With Serde

```rust
use inihx::de::from_ini_file;
use inihx::parse_ini::IniParserConfig;
use serde::Deserialize;

#[derive(Debug, Deserialize)]
struct Config {
    server: ServerSection,
    database: DatabaseSection,
}

#[derive(Debug, Deserialize)]
struct ServerSection {
    port: u16,
}

#[derive(Debug, Deserialize)]
struct DatabaseSection {
    user: String,
    password: String,
}

fn main() -> Result<(), std::io::Error> {
    let cfg = IniParserConfig::default();
    let parsed: Config = from_ini_file("config.ini", &cfg)?;
    println!("Port: {}", parsed.server.port);
    Ok(())
}
```

## Embedded-Friendly (Linux-class)

While not `no_std`, `inihx` is lightweight and efficient enough for use in embedded Linux environments such as:

- Raspberry Pi  
- OpenWRT / Buildroot  
- Yocto-based custom boards

It avoids unnecessary dependencies and is suitable for memory-constrained systems that use `std`.
