# webloc

*webloc* is a Ruby library that can read from and write to <tt>.webloc</tt> files as used on macOS. These are a variant of 'plist' format files, specifically used for storing links to URLs.

It works on Ruby 2.7 and up, including Ruby 3.x, and supports URLs of up to 255 characters in length.

## Installation

    gem install webloc
    
## Usage

Reading a .webloc file:

    Webloc.load(ARGV.first).url

Writing to a .webloc file:

    Webloc.new('https://rubyweekly.com/').save('rubyweekly.webloc')

## Thanks

Thanks is due to Christos Karaiskos for [this article](https://medium.com/@karaiskc/understanding-apples-binary-property-list-format-281e6da00dbd
) which helped me understand the plist format a bit more when fixing a bug in 2024.
