Read and parse a NeXTSTEP property list file

Loads property list files that follow the NeXTSTEP “plain text” format. Also works with other file formats that use the same syntax, such as the .glyphs files used for the Glyphs font editor.

npm install --save load-nextstep-plist

const LOAD_PLIST = require('load-nextstep-plist')

LOAD_PLIST('test.plist')
	.then(data => {
		console.log(data)
		// => { foo: 'bar' }
	})

Returns a promise for the parsed property list file.

Returns the parsed property list file.

const LOAD_PLIST = require('load-nextstep-plist')

console.log(LOAD_PLIST.sync('test.plist'))
// => { foo: 'bar' }

• write-nextstep-plist - Stringify and write a NeXTSTEP property list atomically

Parsing is accomplished using Chee’s nextstep-plist module.

This module is modelled on Sindre Sorhus’s load-json-file.
