neco-plist

日本語

zero dependency plist XML subset parser.

Features

• XML-shaped plist dictionaries converted to ordered maps
• Nested XML elements converted recursively
• Empty XML elements converted to empty strings
• Scalar parsing for null, bool, number, and string values
• ParseError with byte-oriented position and message

Usage

Parse

use neco_plist::{parse, PlistValue};

let value = parse("<dict><name>neco</name></dict>").unwrap();
assert!(matches!(value, PlistValue::Map(_)));

Read fields

use neco_plist::{parse, PlistValue};

let value = parse("<dict><name>neco</name></dict>").unwrap();
let PlistValue::Map(fields) = value else { panic!("map") };
assert!(fields.iter().any(|(key, value)| {
    key == "name" && matches!(value, PlistValue::String(text) if text == "neco")
}));

API

Format support

The supported subset covers lightweight XML property-list shapes used as configuration data. It maps element names to fields and preserves field order. Binary plist and full Apple plist semantics are represented by later parser coverage, not this minimal subset crate.
