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.

GnuStep - NSPropertyListSerialization class documentation

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.

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.

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).

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.

A set is an interface to an unordered collection of objects.

This implementation uses a List`1as the underlying data structure.
