Plist to JSON

How to Convert Plist and JSON Locally on your Mac

Property lists are everywhere in macOS and iOS development. CodeSwissKnife converts plist and JSON locally, including XML and binary plist input, so app configuration stays private.

Why convert plists locally?

Plists often contain bundle settings, defaults, entitlements, test fixtures and internal configuration. A local converter keeps that data on your Mac.

Read XML and binary property lists

CodeSwissKnife accepts XML property lists and binary plist input, then produces readable JSON for inspection, diffing or downstream tooling.

Use plist conversion with structured tools

Convert plist to JSON before using JSONPath, JSON formatting or Structured Data Diff. Convert back when your workflow needs property-list output again.
