plist.js is just a simple library to read and create Apple property lists from Javascript.
npm install plistjs
First, import plistjs
with:
plist = require "plistjs"
plist.parse(contents)
contents
is a string containing the contents of either an XML or ASCII plist, the type of which is automatically detected.
A Javascript object is returned, representing the plist file.
plist.serialize(pl, format)
pl
is the object to serialize, and format
is either plist.XML
or plist.ASCII
.
A string is returned that contains the resulting property list.
fs = require "fs"
plist = require "./lib/plist"
txt = fs.readFileSync("tests/test.plist").toString()
pl = plist.parse txt
pl["testbool"] = true
output = plist.serialize pl, plist.XML
Current:
- XML
- ASCII
Planned:
- Binary
