Constant Summary

VERSION = 
'3.0.0'

Class Method Summary (collapse)

Class Method Details

+ (Object) parse_xml(filename_or_xml)

Note that I don't use these two elements much:

+ Date elements are returned as DateTime objects.
+ Data elements are implemented as Tempfiles

Plist::parse_xml will blow up if it encounters a data element. If you encounter such an error, or if you have a Date element which can't be parsed into a Time object, please send your plist file to plist@hexane.org so that I can implement the proper support.
