Plist parses Mac OS X xml property list files into ruby data structures.

Load a plist file

This is the main point of the library:

r = Plist.parse_xml(filename_or_xml)

Constants

VERSION

Public Class Methods

parse_xml(filename_or_xml) click to toggle source

Note that I don't use these two elements much:

+ Date elements are returned as DateTime objects.
+ Data elements are implemented as Tempfiles

Plist.parse_xml will blow up if it encounters a Date element. If you encounter such an error, or if you have a Date element which can't be parsed into a Time object, please create an issue attaching your plist file at github.com/patsplat/plist/issues so folks can implement the proper support.

  parser.parse
