btw the turtle is called Hex

tested on real macOS apps (VS Code, MTLReplayer, etc). handles nested dicts, arrays, dates, buffers, booleans. all the plist types.

built with Command Code. following the taste system for consistency.

if you work with plists and want modern tooling, give it a try.

const data = parse(xmlString);

build js objects back to xml:
const { build } = require('plist-next');
const xml = build(data);

also ships with a CLI:
$ npm install -g plist-cli
$ plist parse Info.plist
$ plist build '{"name":"app"}'

• Zod validation at boundaries — catch errors early
• 45 comprehensive tests — edge cases covered
• ESM + CJS — both module formats, tree-shakeable
• Zero CLI dependencies — library stays lean

$ npm install plist-next

parse xml plists to js objects:
const { parse } = require('plist-next');

introducing plist-next 📋

i wanted a modern plist parser that just works. no bloat, no legacy baggage, just typescript + strict types + zod validation.

the original plist.js is solid, but it's 2026. we can do better.

plist-next:
• TypeScript first — strict mode, full type safety
