nginx_config_parser
by Bruce Williams

== DESCRIPTION:

A simple Nginx Configuration parser that generates an object graph for
traversal and can emit tidied [simple] configurations.

== FEATURES/PROBLEMS:

* Currently ignores `if' statements (focused on only parsing static config)

== SYNOPSIS:

With a file like:

user nobody www; # this is a 'setting' with key 'user'
workers 1;

http { # this is a 'section' with name 'http'
server {
location / { # this is a section with value = ['/']

}
}
}

Parse

config = NginxConfigParser.parse(File.read('/path/to/nginx.conf'))
p config.settings
# => => ['nobody', 'www'], 'workers' => 1
config.each do |section|
p section.name # eg: 'http'
section.each do |subsection|
p section.name # eg: server
# Emit config (`if's and comments are stripped)
puts config

== REQUIREMENTS:

* Pure Ruby parser, no compiler needed
* No dependencies outside Ruby's standard library
* Should work with Ruby 1.8 and 1.9

== INSTALL:

* sudo gem install nginx_config_parser
