Have a look at CFPropertyList::List for more documentation. == Installation You could either use ruby gems and install it via gem install CFPropertyList or you could clone this repository and place it somewhere in your load path. == Example require 'cfpropertylist' # create a arbitrary data structure of basic data types data = { 'name' => 'John Doe', 'missing' => true, 'last_seen' => Time.now, 'friends' => ['Jane Doe','Julian Doe'], 'likes' => { 'me' => false } } # create CFPropertyList::List object plist = CFPropertyList::List.new # call CFPropertyList.guess() to create corresponding CFType values plist.value = CFPropertyList.guess(data) # write plist to file plist.save("example.plist", CFPropertyList::List::FORMAT_BINARY) # … later, read it again plist = CFPropertyList::List.new(:file => "example.plist") data = CFPropertyList.native_types(plist.value) Author:: Christian Kruse (mailto:cjk@wwwtech.de) Copyright:: Copyright (c) 2010 License:: MIT License
