[jira] Created: (CONFIGURATION-262) Binary property list format

Binary property list format
---------------------------

                 Key: CONFIGURATION-262
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-262
             Project: Commons Configuration
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Emmanuel Bourg
             Fix For: 1.5


With OS X 10.4 Apple introduced a variant of the plist format that is compressed using a binary format. That would be nice to support this format with a BinaryPropertyListConfiguration class.

I haven't found the specification of this format. 

The plutil tool can be used to convert between xml and binary plist files.

Emmanuel Bourg updated CONFIGURATION-262:
-----------------------------------------

    Attachment: CFBinaryPList.c

Binary plist parser from the Open Darwin project :

http://darwinsource.opendarwin.org/10.3/CF-299/Parsing.subproj/CFBinaryPList.c

It details the structure of a binary plist file.
