# keyedarchivelib
Basic Python (>=3.8) library to generate and parse NSKeyedArchive files.
## Installation
Install with pip:
`pip3 install keyedarchivelib`
## Usage
The `keyedarchivelib` module has the same interface as the `plistlib` standard library module:
`load`, `loads`, `dump`, and `dumps` have the same function signatures as
[plistlib](https://docs.python.org/3/library/plistlib.html) minus the `fmt` option, which is not available since it's
always binary.
The `keyedarchivelib` module includes type hints.
For convenience, examples are provided below:
### Reading (`load` & `loads`)
```python
from keyedarchivelib import load
with open("example.plist", 'rb') as fp:
pl = load(fp)
print(pl["test"])
```
### Writing (`dump` & `dumps`)
```python
from keyedarchivelib import dump, dumps
example_dict = {
"test": 1
}
with open("example.plist", 'wb') as fp:
dump(example_dict, fp)
# ~~~ OR ~~~
print(dumps(example_dict))
```
