PList-Parser

Plist parser in dotnet and powershell core.

1. Dotnet

• Install nuget PListParserLibrary
• Call PListParserLibrary.Parser.Parse(string pListText)

Look at sample for more details

Example

var text = File.ReadAllText("Plist/PlistFile1.plist", System.Text.Encoding.UTF8);
var parser = new PListParserLibrary.Parser();
Dictionary<string, object> dictionaryOutput = parser.Parse(text);
Console.WriteLine("UIDeviceFamily=" + string.Join(',', dictionaryOutput["UIDeviceFamily"] as List<int>));
Console.WriteLine("MinimumOSVersion=" + dictionaryOutput["MinimumOSVersion"]);
//further use
var json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(dictionaryOutput, Formatting.Indented);
Console.WriteLine(Environment.NewLine + "As Json" + Environment.NewLine + "----------------" + Environment.NewLine + json);

Output

UIDeviceFamily=1,2
MinimumOSVersion=8.0

As Json
----------------
{
  "UIDeviceFamily": [
    1,
    2
  ],
  "UISupportedInterfaceOrientations": [
    "UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait",
    "UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft",
    "UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight"
  ],
  "UISupportedInterfaceOrientations~ipad": [
    "UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait",
    "UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown",
    "UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft",
    "UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight"
  ],
  "MinimumOSVersion": "8.0",
  "CFBundleDisplayName": "App2",
  "CFBundleIdentifier": "com.companyname.App2",
  "CFBundleVersion": "1.0",
  "UILaunchStoryboardName": "LaunchScreen",
  "CFBundleName": "App2",
  "XSAppIconAssets": "Assets.xcassets/AppIcon.appiconset",
  "Required device capabilities": {
    "telephony": "wifi",
    "wifi": "wifi",
    "sms": "sms"
  },
  "Bundle OS type code": false,
  "CustomProperty": "1.2"
}

2. Powershell

Install-Module -Name PListParserLibrary.Powershell.PListParser

Example

Import-Module PListParserLibrary.Powershell.PlistParser
$text = Get-Content -Path .\DotNet\PListParserLibrary.Sample\Plist\PlistFile1.plist -Raw
$dictionaryText = Get-PlistFromText -Input $text
