NAME

    Mac::PropertyList::XS - work with Mac plists at a low level, really fast

SYNOPSIS

    See Mac::PropertyList and Mac::PropertyList::SAX

DESCRIPTION

    Mac::PropertyList::SAX was my first attempt to speed up property-list

    parsing. It achieves about a 30x speed boost, but large files still take

    too long for my taste. This module addresses some remaining speed gains

    by implementing some expensive operations in C.

    This module is intended to be a drop-in replacement for

    Mac::PropertyList::SAX, which is itself a drop-in replacement for

    Mac::PropertyList.

EXPORTS

    By default, no functions are exported. Specify individual functions to

    export as usual, or use the tags ':all', ':create', and ':parse' for the

    appropriate sets of functions (':create' includes the create* functions

    as well as plist_as_string; ':parse' includes the parse* functions).

FUNCTIONS

    parse_plist_file

        See "parse_plist_file" in Mac::PropertyList

    parse_plist_fh

        See "parse_plist_fh" in Mac::PropertyList

    parse_plist

        See "parse_plist" in Mac::PropertyList

    parse_plist_string

        An alias to parse_plist, provided for better regularity compared to

        Perl SAX.

    create_from_ref( HASH_REF | ARRAY_REF )

        Create a plist from an array or hash reference.

        The values of the hash can be simple scalars or references. Hash and

        array references are handled recursively, and Mac::PropertyList

        objects are output correctly. All other scalars are treated as

        strings (use Mac::PropertyList objects to represent other types of

        scalars).

        Returns a string representing the reference in serialized plist

        format.

    create_from_hash( HASH_REF )

        Provided for backward compatibility with Mac::PropertyList: aliases

        create_from_ref.

    create_from_array( ARRAY_REF )

        Provided for backward compatibility with Mac::PropertyList: aliases

        create_from_ref.

    create_from_string( STRING )

        Provided for backward compatibility with Mac::PropertyList: aliases

        "Mac::PropertyList::create_from_string()".
