DRF at a glance
DRF
Convert to DRF when compatibility with an older camera-specific raw library is required.
In most workflows today, DRF is a preservation or migration target rather than a preferred everyday format.
INI at a glance
INI
Convert to INI when the target system expects straightforward sectioned configuration that humans can edit easily without complex tooling.
It is useful for app settings, legacy integrations, and small configuration surfaces.
For nested structured data or richer schemas, JSON, TOML, XML, or YAML may be more suitable.
