public final class PListParser
extends Object
```
Plist xml handling (serialization and deserialization)
The xml plist dtd can be found at http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd
The plist spec handles 8 types of objects: booleans, real, integers, dates, binary data, strings, arrays (lists) and dictionaries (maps).
The java Plist lib handles converting xml plists to a nested Map<String, Object> that can be trivially read from java. It also provides a simple way to convert a nested Map<String, Object> into an xml plist representation.
The following mapping will be done when converting from plist to Map :
```
 true/false -> Boolean
 real -> Double
 integer -> Integer/Long (depends on size, values exceeding an int will be rendered as longs)
 data -> byte[]
 string -> String
 array -> List
 dict -> Map
 
```
When converting from Map -> plist the conversion is as follows:
```
 Boolean -> true/false
 Float/Double -> real
 Byte/Short/Integer/Long -> integer
 byte[] -> data
 List -> array
 Map -> dict
 
```
