iOS: 属性列表介绍 Introduction to Property Lists

从本质上说, 属性列表就是苹果的对象数据序列化与反序列化方式

属性列表使用几种数据类型把数据组织为键值表和值表
Property lists organize data into named values and lists of values using several object types.
这些类型使你能产生结构良好,便于传输,存储,和访问并且有效的数据.
These types give you the means to produce data that is meaningfully structured, transportable, storable, and accessible, but still as efficient as possible.
属性列表广泛应用在OS X和iOS应用程序中.
Property lists are frequently used by applications running on both OS X and iOS.
属性列表的Cocoa和Core Foundation编程接口使你能把由基本对象类型构造的层次化数据转换成标准XML.
The property-list programming interfaces for Cocoa and Core Foundation allow you to convert hierarchically structured combinations of these basic types of objects to and from standard XML.
你可以把XML数据到磁盘，并用它来重建原始对象。
You can save the XML data to disk and later use it to reconstruct the original objects.
