A wrapper utility for interacting with plist data.
npm install @bch/simple-plistnode-simple-plist
=================
A simple API for interacting with binary and plain text plist data.
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("name Joe
console.log( JSON.stringify(data) );
