Description

 

ini files with empty sections are currently not supported

Properties without a key (e.g. " = worse") can be accessed by a space key. I would suggest to also provide this feature for empty sections:

example emptySection.ini:

[]
property = "property1"

test code:

INIConfiguration iniConfiguration = new INIConfiguration();
try (FileReader fileReader = new FileReader("emptySection.ini")) {
iniConfiguration.read(fileReader);
} catch (ConfigurationException | IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
SubnodeConfiguration subSection = iniConfiguration.getSection(" "); // empty section can be accessed by a space
String nextKey = subSection.getKeys().next();
assertNotNull(nextKey);
assertEquals("property", nextKey);
Object nextValue = subSection.getProperty(nextKey);
assertNotNull(nextValue);
assertEquals("property1", nextValue);
