.editorconfig files are INI files with a simple syntax defined inthe spec.

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

• [ and] can be used inside the sections ([...]);

• There is no official support for fancy stuff like continuation and quoting. You probably should not rely on it.
