deno.land/x/bplist_parser

A Deno port for the bplist-parser NPM package. Parses macOS binary property lists into equivalent (non-binary) JavaScript values.

Usage

Parsing a bplist file from disk

import { parseFile } from "https://deno.land/x/bplist_parser@0.1.0/mod.ts";

const bplist = "./path/to/file.bplist";
const parsed = await parseFile(bplist);

// To make the path relative to the path of the current script, add
// `import.meta.url` as the cwd
const parsed2 = await parseFile(bplist, import.meta.url);

Parsing an in-memory bplist

import { parseBuffer } from "https://deno.land/x/bplist_parser@0.1.0/mod.ts";

const bplist: Uint8Array = await fetchFile(/*...*/);
const parsed = parseBuffer(data);
