ASCIIPropertyListParser

Parser for ASCII property lists. Supports Apple OS X/iOS and GnuStep/NeXTSTEP format. This parser is based on the recursive descent paradigm, but the underlying grammar is not explicitely defined.

Resources on ASCII property list format:

BinaryPropertyListParser

Parses property lists that are in Apple's binary format. Use this class when you are sure about the format of the property list. Otherwise use the PropertyListParser class.

Parsing is done by calling the static Claunia.PropertyList.BinaryPropertyListParser.Parse(Byte[]), Claunia.PropertyList.BinaryPropertyListParser.Parse(System.IO.FileInfo) and Claunia.PropertyList.BinaryPropertyListParser.Parse(System.IO.Stream) methods.

BinaryPropertyListWriter | A BinaryPropertyListWriter is a helper class for writing out binary property list files. It contains an output stream and various structures for keeping track of which NSObjects have already been serialized, and where they were put in the file.
NSArray | Represents an Array.
NSData | NSData objects are wrappers for byte buffers
NSDate | Represents a date
NSDictionary | A NSDictionary is a collection of keys and values, essentially a Dictionary. The keys are simple Strings whereas the values can be any kind of NSObject. You can access the keys through the function Claunia.PropertyList.NSDictionary.Keys. Access to the objects stored for each key is given through the function Claunia.PropertyList.NSDictionary.ObjectForKey(string).
NSNumber | A number whose value is either an integer, a real number or bool.
NSObject | Abstract interface for any object contained in a property list. The names and functions of the various objects orient themselves towards Apple's Cocoa API.
NSSet | A set is an interface to an unordered collection of objects. This implementation uses a List`1as the underlying data structure.
NSString | A NSString contains a string.
PropertyListFormatException | A PropertyListFormatException is thrown by the various property list format parsers when an error in the format of the given property list is encountered.
PropertyListParser | This class provides methods to parse property lists. It can handle files, input streams and byte arrays. All known property list formats are supported. This class also provides methods to save and convert property lists.
UID | An UID. Only found in binary property lists that are keyed archives.
XmlPropertyListParser | Parses XML property lists.
