Project Description
Fast, powerfull and customisable tool for serialization to Apple's plist format.

Usage

1. Any custom classes you wish to convert into a Property List must be marked as 'Serializable', or with PlistSerializableAttribute otherwise they will be ignored. Custom serialization by implementing IPlistSerializable or supplying writer with PlistValueWriterAttribute are also available
2. When making a plist from custom classes any values you want included in the plist must be exposed through a Property (at least a getter) rather than public variables.

Example for System.Web.Mvc:

public class PlistResult : System.Web.Mvc.ActionResult
{
	private readonly object _data;
	public PlistResult(object data)
	{
		_data = data;
	}
	public override void ExecuteResult(ControllerContext context)
	{
		context.HttpContext.Response.ContentType = "text/xml";
		context.HttpContext.Response.ContentEncoding = Encoding.UTF8;
		_data.WritePlistDocument(context.HttpContext.Response.OutputStream);
	}
}

Control serialization with attributes

[Serializable]
public class TestModelItem
{
	[PlistKey("Id")]
	public Guid PersonId { get; set; }

	public string Name { get; set; }

	public int Age { get; set; }

	[PlistIgnore]
	public string Password { get; set; }
}
...
	var val = new TestModelItem
	{
		PersonId = new Guid("C48912B2-6F4D-4C80-90D7-D97E238A26AC"),
		Name = "John Smith",
		Age = 40,
		Password = "Secret"
	};
	var output = val.ToPlistDocument();
...
