Standard JSON .plist file #3

Open yangchenyun opened 12 years ago

yangchenyun commented 12 years ago

Hi, could you please provide standard JSON files which then could be converted to XML version 1 which could be used as .tmLanguage file in textmate bundle? http://blog.dyve.net/convert-plist-files-from-binary-to-xml-and-vi

What do you mean by "standard JSON files"? Is existing .plist file not standard?

yangchenyun commented 12 years ago

Saying "standard JSON", I mean the grammar. The plist file separates object properties with ';', but JSON uses comma(,); The plist file allows string literal wrapped with single quote ('), but JSON only allows double quote ("); the plist file allows property name to be identifier, but JSON only allows JSON string(wrapped in double quotes) etc.

I think the standard xml .plist file will works too, as there are tools to convert it to a json file.

If there are tools, I can close this issue? Patch would be welcome, of course.

Not really, the .plist file in the repository is not standard JSON file and couldn't be converted with available tools..
