Reading property lists from XML (XML->General)
This will read property lists in XML (or any of the other property list formats:)
NSData *data = // get NSData from somewhere, like NSFileManager
if (data) {
myRootObject = [NSPropertyListSerialization
propertyListFromData: data
mutabilityOption: NSPropertyListMutableContainers
format: nil
errorDescription: nil];
}
For the mutability options of the resulting object, you can also use NSPropertyListImmutable and NSPropertyListMutableContainersAndLeaves
