This library contains a parser for 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. This makes them very similar in nature to a JSON file. A valid Plist file should be directly representable as a native JavaScript Object.
Exported are parseFile
and parseString
functions. Here's some examples:
var plist = require('plist');
plist.parseFile('myPlist.plist', function(err, obj) {
if (err) throw err;
console.log(JSON.stringify(obj));
});
Just a String
payload works as well:
var plist = require('plist');
plist.parseString('<plist><string>Hello World!</string></plist>', function(err, obj) {
if (err) throw err;
console.log(obj[0]);
// Hello World!
});
