FAQ

Questions dotenv owners ask.

  • 01

    Does it expand variables like $HOME?

    No. This engine does strict parsing only. it extracts raw key-value pairs without variable expansion to prevent side effects and maintain determinism.

  • 02

    Does it handle quoted values?

    Yes. Both single-quoted ('value') and double-quoted ("value") values are supported. Quotes are stripped from the output, and escape sequences inside double quotes are processed.

  • 03

    Can it parse comments?

    Yes. Lines starting with # are treated as comments and ignored. Inline comments after unquoted values are also handled correctly.
