Advanced YINI Code Examples
Level: Advanced / Optional features
These examples show how YINI supports more advanced configuration
scenarios beyond everyday usage, including optional syntax features,
extended value formats, and production-level setups.
⚠️ Note: These examples demonstrate optional syntax,
edge cases, and advanced capabilities. You do not need
these features to use YINI effectively. If you're new to YINI, start
with the
Get Started
guide or the
Basic examples.
See everyday YINI configuration examples on the main Examples page.
