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

varplist=require('plist');varobj=plist.parseFileSync('myPlist.plist');console.log(JSON.stringify(obj));

Parsing a plist from string payload

varplist=require('plist');varobj=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

varplist=require('plist');console.log(plist.build({'foo' : 'bar'}).toString());
