Parsing XML Plist

This feature allows you to parse an XML plist string into a JavaScript object. The example demonstrates parsing a simple XML plist string containing a dictionary with one key-value pair.

const plist = require('@expo/plist');
const xml = '<plist version="1.0"><dict><key>foo</key><string>bar</string></dict></plist>';
const parsed = plist.parse(xml);
console.log(parsed); // { foo: 'bar' }

Building XML Plist

This feature allows you to build an XML plist string from a JavaScript object. The example demonstrates converting a simple JavaScript object into an XML plist string.

const plist = require('@expo/plist');
const obj = { foo: 'bar' };
const xml = plist.build(obj);
console.log(xml); // <plist version="1.0"><dict><key>foo</key><string>bar</string></dict></plist>

Parsing Binary Plist

This feature allows you to parse a binary plist file into a JavaScript object. The example demonstrates reading a binary plist file from the filesystem and parsing it.

const plist = require('@expo/plist');
const fs = require('fs');
const buffer = fs.readFileSync('example.plist');
const parsed = plist.parse(buffer);
console.log(parsed);

Building Binary Plist

This feature allows you to build a binary plist file from a JavaScript object. The example demonstrates converting a simple JavaScript object into a binary plist file and writing it to the filesystem.

const plist = require('@expo/plist');
const fs = require('fs');
const obj = { foo: 'bar' };
const buffer = plist.build(obj, { format: 'binary' });
fs.writeFileSync('example.plist', buffer);
