Readme
node-plist
Provides facilities for reading and writing Mac OS X Plist (property list) files. These are often used in programming OS X and iOS applications, as well as the iTunes configuration XML file.
Plist files represent stored programming "object"s. They are very similar to JSON. A valid Plist file is representable as a native JavaScript Object and vice-versa.
Tests
npm test
Usage
Parsing a plist from filename
var plist = require('plist');
var obj = plist.parseFileSync('myPlist.plist');
console.log(JSON.stringify(obj));
Parsing a plist from string payload
var plist = require('plist');
var obj = plist.parseStringSync('<plist><string>Hello World!</string></plist>');
console.log(obj); // Hello World!
Given an existing JavaScript Object, you can turn it into an XML document that complies with the plist DTD
var plist = require('plist');
console.log(plist.build({'foo' : 'bar'}).toString());
