Welcome to ConfigFile

ConfigFile is a configuration file parser and writer library for Haskell.

The ConfigFile module works with configuration files in a standard format that is easy for the user to edit, easy for the programmer to work with, yet remains powerful and flexible. It is inspired by, and compatible with, Python’s ConfigParser module. It uses files that resemble Windows .INI-style files, but with numerous improvements.

ConfigFile provides simple calls to both read and write config files. It’s possible to make a config file parsable by this module, the Unix shell, and make.

This software was written by John Goerzen. If you like it, you can send a few dollars my way via my tip jar, though that is certainly optional and doesn’t buy you anything.

Starting Points

Downloads: Source and Binaries

Contributing to ConfigFile

You can always download the source from the Downloads page and attach diffs. But it’s far better, both for you and for me, if you use Git. For more info, see http://help.github.com

Mailing List

I encourage the use of the haskell-cafe mailing list for questions and discussions about ConfigFile. Gmane has made available excellent archives of this list as well.
