fmtplistlibFMTXML

fmtplistlibFMTXML is a Python library that provides functionality for parsing and writing Property List (plist) files in the XML format. Property Lists are a data serialization format used by Apple's macOS and iOS operating systems to store application settings and data. The FMTXML format is one of the text-based encodings for plist files, characterized by its XML structure.

The library allows developers to load plist data from an XML file into Python objects and to serialize Python objects into plist XML files. This is particularly useful when interacting with macOS or iOS applications that rely on plist files for configuration or data storage. For example, one might use fmtplistlibFMTXML to read application preferences or to generate configuration files for these platforms.

Key features of fmtplistlibFMTXML include the ability to handle various plist data types such as strings, integers, floats, booleans, dates, arrays, and dictionaries. The library aims to provide a straightforward interface for these operations, making it easier for Python developers to integrate with Apple's ecosystem without needing to write custom XML parsing logic. It is part of a broader set of tools that facilitate working with plist files in Python.
