In this web content, the author aims to demystify parsers and parsing by providing a simple and readable parser for the “ini” file format using ISO C99. They emphasize that the parser is designed to be user-friendly and includes error correction features. The author acknowledges that there is no standard for the ini format and existing implementations differ, so they take some liberties in their implementation. They provide the code for the parser, explaining each step along the way. The author also discusses parsing theory and the importance of flexibility when building parsers. They encourage readers to write their own parsers and provide the source code for reference.
