Nanaimo

Nanaimo is a simple library that implements ASCII Plist serialization and deserialization, entirely with native Ruby code (and zero dependencies). It also comes with out-of-the-box support for serializing Xcode projects (complete with annotations) and XML plists.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'nanaimo'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install nanaimo

Usage

require 'nanaimo'

# parse a native ruby object from an ascii plist file
project_hash = Nanaimo::Reader
  .from_file("App.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj")
  .parse!
  .as_ruby

# change that object
project_hash['...'] = '...'

# re-serialize it
ascii_plist_string = Nanaimo::Writer.new(project_hash).write

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
