jc.parsers.plist
jc - JSON Convert PLIST file parser
Converts binary, XML, and NeXTSTEP PLIST files.
Binary values are converted into an ASCII hex representation.
Datetime objects are converted into Unix epoch timestamps and ISO strings. The timestamp and ISO string will maintain the same naive or timezone-aware properties as the object in the original PLIST file.
Usage (cli):
$ cat file.plist | jc --plist
Usage (module):
import jc
result = jc.parse('plist', plist_file_output)
Schema:
{
"<key>": string/integer/float/boolean/object/array/null
}
Examples:
$ cat info.plist | jc --plist -p
