Serializer

Converts a data structure into a string using a specified format.

Converts a data structure (like a map or a list) into a text-based string format. This is useful for saving data to a file or sending it over a network.

Supported Formats#

JSON: JavaScript Object Notation. Widely used and human-readable. Output is indented for clarity.
YAML: YAML Ain't Markup Language. A human-friendly data serialization standard.
TOML: Tom's Obvious, Minimal Language. A minimal configuration file format.
INI: A common configuration file format.

INI Format Requirements#

When serializing to the INI format, the input data structure must be a map where each key is a section name, and its value is another map of key-value pairs.

Example Input for INI: ```json { "database": { "host": "localhost", "port": "5432" }, "user": { "name": "admin" } }
