=================
|
|

A simple API for interacting with binary and plain text plist data.
|
|
|

|
|
## Installation
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ npm install simple-plist
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Reading Data
|
|
```js
|
|
var plist = require('simple-plist');
|
|
|
|
// Read data from a file (xml or binary) (asynchronous)
|
|
plist.readFile('/path/to/some.plist', function(err,data){
|
|
if (err) {throw err;}
|
|
console.log( JSON.stringify(data) );
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
// Read data from a file (xml or binary) (synchronous)
|
|
var data = plist.readFileSync('/path/to/some.plist');
|
|
console.log( JSON.stringify(data) );
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Writing Data
|
|
```js
|
|
var plist = require('simple-plist'),
|
|
data = plist.readFileSync('/path/to/some.plist');
|
|
|
|
// Write data to a xml file (asynchronous)
|
|
plist.writeFile('/path/to/plaintext.plist', data, function(err){
|
|
if (err) { throw err; }
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
// Write data to a xml file (synchronous)
|
|
plist.writeFileSync('/path/to/plaintext.plist', data);
|
|
|
|
// Write data to a binary plist file (asynchronous)
|
|
plist.writeBinaryFile('/path/to/binary.plist', data, function(err){
|
|
if (err) { throw err; }
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
// Write data to a binary plist file (synchronous)
|
|
plist.writeBinaryFileSync('/path/to/binary.plist', data);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Mutating Plists In Memory
|
|
```js
|
|
var plist = require('simple-plist');
|
|
|
|
// Convert a Javascript object to a plist xml string
|
|
var xml = plist.stringify( {name: "Joe", answer:42} );
|
|
console.log(xml); // output is a valid plist xml string
|
|
|
|
// Convert a plist xml string or a binary plist buffer to a Javascript object
|
|
var data = plist.parse("<plist><dict><key>name</key><string>Joe</string></dict></plist>");
|
|
console.log( JSON.stringify(data) );
|
|
```
