.editorconfig files are INI files with a simple syntax defined in the spec.

It is somewhat compatible with the format used by Python ConfigParser Library. But there are a few noticeable points:

  • [ and ] can be used inside the sections ([...]);
  • Comments should go in individual lines, we are not sure whether appending comments may cause issues.
  • There is no official support for fancy stuff like continuation and quoting. You probably should not rely on it.
