# parse-plist

Parser of plist in OS X.

## Installation

By install script:

    $ curl -fsSL https://raw.github.com/rcmdnk/parse-plist/install/install.sh |sh

This installs Homebrew if it has not been installed, too.

By Homebrew:

    $ brew install rcmdnk/rcmdnkpac/parse-plist

Or download `bin/parse-plist` and put it in anywhere under `PATH` (e.g. `~/usr/bin/`)

## Usage

By default, `parse-plist` converts all plist to `defaults` commands:

    $ parse-plist

    defaults write "com.adobe.air.ApplicationInstaller" "NSNavLastRootDirectory" -string "~/Applications"

    defaults write "com.adobe.air.ApplicationInstaller" "NSNavPanelExpandedSizeForOpenMode" -string "{1680, 1023}"

    defaults write "com.apple.ActivityMonitor" "OpenMainWindow" -bool False

    defaults write "com.apple.ActivityMonitor" "ShowCategory" -int 100

    ...

You can specify a plist file or a xml file of plist:

    $ parse-plist com.apple.dock

    defaults write "com.apple.dock" "orientation" -string "bottom"

    defaults write "com.apple.dock" "showMissionControlGestureEnabled" -bool True

    defaults write "com.apple.dock" "autohide" -bool True

    ...

JSON output is available, too:

    $ parse-plist com.apple.dock --out json

    {

      "com.apple.dock": {

        "showDesktopGestureEnabled": false,

        "loc": "ja_JP",

        "dashboard-in-overlay": true,

        ...
