-# Generators {#sec-generators}
-Generators are functions that create file formats from nix data structures, e. g. for configuration files. There are generators available for: `INI`, `JSON` and `YAML`
-
-All generators follow a similar call interface: `generatorName configFunctions data`, where `configFunctions` is an attrset of user-defined functions that format nested parts of the content. They each have common defaults, so often they do not need to be set manually. An example is `mkSectionName ? (name: libStr.escape [ "[" "]" ] name)` from the `INI` generator. It receives the name of a section and sanitizes it. The default `mkSectionName` escapes `[` and `]` with a backslash.
-
-Generators can be fine-tuned to produce exactly the file format required by your application/service. One example is an INI-file format which uses `: ` as separator, the strings `"yes"`/`"no"` as boolean values and requires all string values to be quoted:
-
-```nix
-with lib;
-let
-  customToINI = generators.toINI {
-    # specifies how to format a key/value pair
-    mkKeyValue = generators.mkKeyValueDefault {
-      # specifies the generated string for a subset of nix values
-      mkValueString = v:
-             if v == true then ''"yes"''
-        else if v == false then ''"no"''
-        else if isString v then ''"${v}"''
-        # and delegats all other values to the default generator
-        else generators.mkValueStringDefault {} v;
-    } ":";
-  };
-
-# the INI file can now be given as plain old nix values
-in customToINI {
-  main = {
-    pushinfo = true;
-    autopush = false;
-    host = "localhost";
-    port = 42;
-  };
-  mergetool = {
-    merge = "diff3";
-  };
-}
-```
-
-This will produce the following INI file as nix string:
-
-```INI
-[main]
-autopush:"no"
-host:"localhost"
-port:42
-pushinfo:"yes"
-str\:ange:"very::strange"
-
-[mergetool]
-merge:"diff3"
-```

-Nix store paths can be converted to strings by enclosing a derivation attribute like so: `"${drv}"`.
