groovy-pbxproj

A groovy lib for reading (and eventually writing) Xcode pbxproj files.

Best documentation is via tests for now.

##An Example Load a pbxproj file.

def proj = new XcodeProj( "/some/project/project.pbxproj" )
assert proj.rootObject //the root object (type PBXProject)
assert proj.objects.size() > 0 // got to have some objects

def root = proj.rootObject   //use this to walk the project tree
assert root.buildConfigurationList //the build config list

##About the Classes Each pbxproj isa object has a corresponding Groovy object in com.vperi.pbxproj. ###Support Classes

• PBXObject (not a part of the Xcode project objects) is a common base class for all PBX* objects, and extends Expando for dictionary backed extensible properties (thus, most PBX* classes are empty)
• PBXRef (also custom), is used for all pbxproj key-based object references. While the referenced object can be accessed via PBXRef.theObject(), PBXRef overrides getProperty for seamless pass-through property dereferencing:

///PBXRef
 public Object getProperty( String name ) {
        return theObject().getProperty( name )
    }

• PBXList & PBXMap are specialized List<> and Map<> implementations that intercept getters for automatically dereferencing PBXRefs.
• PBXObjectManager is the pbxproj's key to object dictionary. It also provides a pbxproj compatible UUID generator for creating objects, for eventually writing pbxproj files.
