<p>This module provides an interface for reading and writing the “property list”
files used mainly by Mac OS X and supports both binary and XML plist files.</p>
<p>The property list (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">.plist</span></code>) file format is a simple serialization supporting
basic object types, like dictionaries, lists, numbers and strings. Usually the
top level object is a dictionary.</p>
<p>To write out and to parse a plist file, use the <a class="reference internal" href="#plistlib.dump" title="plistlib.dump"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">dump()</span></code></a> and
<a class="reference internal" href="#plistlib.load" title="plistlib.load"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">load()</span></code></a> functions.</p>
<p>To work with plist data in bytes objects, use <a class="reference internal" href="#plistlib.dumps" title="plistlib.dumps"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">dumps()</span></code></a>
and <a class="reference internal" href="#plistlib.loads" title="plistlib.loads"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">loads()</span></code></a>.</p>
<p>Values can be strings, integers, floats, booleans, tuples, lists, dictionaries
(but only with string keys), <a class="reference internal" href="#plistlib.Data" title="plistlib.Data"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Data</span></code></a>, <a class="reference internal" href="stdtypes.html#bytes" title="bytes"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">bytes</span></code></a>, <code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">bytesarray</span></code>
or <a class="reference internal" href="datetime.html#datetime.datetime" title="datetime.datetime"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">datetime.datetime</span></code></a> objects.</p>
