This structure can be manipulated, written out to and read in +from a file, and synchronized with the contents of a file. +The purpose of PL is to closely mimick the behaviour of the property +lists used in GNUstep/OPENSTEP (there formed with the NSString, +NSData, NSArray and NSDictionary classes) and to be compatible with +it. PL enables programs that use configuration or preference files to +make these compatible with GNUstep/OPENSTEP's user defaults handling +mechanism, without needing to use Objective-C or GNUstep/OPENSTEP +themselves. |
