This is a C# Property List (plist) serialization library (MIT license). It supports both XML and binary versions of the plist format.
plist C#
string string integer short, int, long real double dictionary Dictionary<string, object> array List
See PlistCS/PlistCS/plistTests.cs for examples of reading and writing all types to both XML and binary. E.g. to read a plist from disk whose root node is a dictionary:
Dictionary<string, object> dict = (Dictionary<string, object>)Plist.readPlist("testBin.plist");The plist format (binary or XML) is automatically detected so call the same readPlist method for XML
Dictionary<string, object> dict = (Dictionary<string, object>)Plist.readPlist("testXml.plist");To write a plist, e.g. dictionary
Dictionary<string, object> dict = new Dictionary<string, object>
{
{"String Example", "Hello There"},
{"Integer Example", 1234}
};
Plist.writeXml(dict, "xmlTarget.plist");and for a binary plist
Dictionary<string, object> dict = new Dictionary<string, object>
{
{"String Example", "Hello There"},
{"Integer Example", 1234}
};
Plist.writeBinary(dict, "xmlTarget.plist");The other public methods allow for reading and writing from streams and byte arrays. Again, see the test suite code PlistCS/PlistCS/plistTests.cs for comprehensive examples.
