That was my initial thought too, but I looked around and couldn't find any official spec for json plists. I think maybe it's something that TextMate has done to encode plists in a friendlier format?
If there's a standard, even if it's emerging, I'd be happy to add support for it. I just want documentation so we don't end up implementing something broken.
I thin kits this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Property_list
From the look of it its the same content, just another format
Well, just about any data structure can be turned into a plist. My opinion is that if plutil doesn't speak it, we shouldn't support it.
That said... turns out plutil has a json format now. I can't find any docs, but it should be relatively easy to write tests to verify that we're doing the right thing.
Reopening this request.
i tried this: http://scw.us/iPhone/plutil/plutil.pl but it did not read or convert this file, how did you do it ?
Don't have any problems with supporting NeXT property lists but it seems a bit esoteric. Parsing and emitting binary and json plists is definitely a desired feature.
