No automatic scalar typing
Numbers and Boolean-looking words remain JSON strings. Type conversion belongs to a separately declared application schema, not punctuation alone.

What this tool does
Bounded, explicit, and local
JSON and INI do not share a universal data model. This conversion uses section objects and string members, rejects duplicates, and reports presentation details that JSON cannot represent.
Comments and spelling do not become JSON data
The result represents accepted section and key values. Original comment placement, delimiter choice, spacing, and dialect extensions are not preserved in a compact JSON object.
