Crate creator_plist

Plist

A rusty plist parser.

Usage

Put this in your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
plist = "1"

And put this in your crate root:

extern crate plist;

Examples

Using serde

extern crate plist;
#[macro_use]
extern crate serde_derive;

#[derive(Deserialize)]
#[serde(rename_all = "PascalCase")]
struct Book {
    title: String,
    author: String,
    excerpt: String,
    copies_sold: u64,
}

let book: Book = plist::from_file("tests/data/book.plist")
    .expect("failed to read book.plist");

assert_eq!(book.title, "Great Expectations");

Using Value

use plist::Value;

let book = Value::from_file("tests/data/book.plist")
    .expect("failed to read book.plist");

let title = book
    .as_dictionary()
    .and_then(|dict| dict.get("Title"))
    .and_then(|title| title.as_string());

assert_eq!(title, Some("Great Expectations"));

Unstable Features

Many features from previous versions are now hidden behind the enable_unstable_features_that_may_break_with_minor_version_bumps feature. These will break in minor version releases after the 1.0 release. If you really really must use them you should specify a tilde requirement e.g. plist = "~1.0.3" in you Cargo.toml so that the plist crate is not automatically updated to version 1.1.

Re-exports

pub use dictionary::Dictionary;
