[?] plist codec?
Hello list,
I've met configuration's implementation of the plist parser and writer but I would like something more of the nature of a marshall/demarshaller, using BeanUtils.
I am wondering there's another API in the commons world that does this. I haven't found any.
I have started mine which is not complete yet but I would be happy to contribute it; it is to be used in (de)serializing log events.
I am not sure where I could contribute to, though.
- codec seems somewhat appropriate only
- beanutils is focussed on beans... which I am using of course to create the events. Would that be a better target?
thanks in advance for hints
Paul

Moreover, that library is not doing object instantiation the way BeanUtils does it.

I do not fully agree here.
Plists can indeed do nesting which BeanUtils does not.
And binaries.
But both are fairly easily applied.

That feels right to my taste.

Would be welcome.

There is already a plist lib out there.
http://code.google.com/p/plist/
That said - it's GPL so it's the same as not usable for the most of us.
Plists are a much more dynamic than Beans which is why I am not sure
BeanUtils is the right fit. That said ... it doesn't feel right in
Codec either :-/ ...better but not right.
Someone else got an opinion?
cheers,
Torsten
