```

Supported Formats
-----------------

[](#supported-formats)

A Property List comes in one of the following formats:

FormatSupported in this libraryDescriptionASCII⚠️ (No comments yet)(The original, legacy format developed by NeXT for NeXTStep and later OPENSTEP)GNUstep ASCII⚠️ (No comments yet)The NeXTStep/OPENSTEP ASCII format, but extended by GNU for GNUstepGNUstep Binary❌A binary variant of the property list developed by GNU for GNUstepXML✅Introduced in Apple's Mac OS X 10.0; currently version 1.0Binary❌Introduced in Apple's MAC OS X 10.2; currently version 1.0JSON✅Introduced in Apple's MAC OS X 10.7*Note: At the moment, the implementation of the ASCII formats in this library should not be trusted. It doesn't understand comments, and it has some white-space detection hardcoded, so it is possible that it fails on a valid ASCII Property List.*
