What is simple-plist?

The simple-plist npm package allows for the reading, writing, and manipulation of plist (Property List) files, which are commonly used in macOS and iOS for storing serialized objects. It provides a straightforward API for handling plist data in XML and binary formats.

What are simple-plist's main functionalities?

Reading plist files

This feature allows for the synchronous reading of plist files from the filesystem. The `readFileSync` method reads the file from the given path and returns the plist data as a JavaScript object.

const plist = require('simple-plist');
const data = plist.readFileSync('/path/to/file.plist');

Writing plist files

This feature enables the synchronous writing of plist data to files. The `writeFileSync` method takes a file path and a JavaScript object, then serializes the object into plist format and writes it to the specified file.

const plist = require('simple-plist');
const data = { key: 'value' };
plist.writeFileSync('/path/to/file.plist', data);

Parsing plist data

This feature involves parsing plist data from a string. The `parse` method takes a plist-formatted string and converts it into a JavaScript object, allowing for easy manipulation and access to the data.

const plist = require('simple-plist');
const plistData = '<plist><dict><key>exampleKey</key><string>exampleValue</string></dict></plist>';
const data = plist.parse(plistData);
