How to parse .plist file in Java?
I am trying to parse a .plist
file in Java but not understanding how. I used a DOM parser but it gives an error a开发者_StackOverflow社区nd is not able to read .plist
file.
This is my plist file:
xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>All Samples</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>Message</key>
<string>1) UIATarget </string>
<key>Timestamp</key>
<date>2011-07-06T19:40:09Z</date>
<key>Type</key>
<integer>0</integer>
</dict>
This my main
function:
public static void main(String[] args) throws XMLStreamException, IOException {
InputStream in = new FileInputStream("File.plist");
XMLInputFactory factory = XMLInputFactory.newInstance();
XMLEventReader parser = factory.createXMLEventReader(in);
assert parser.nextEvent().isStartDocument();
XMLEvent event = parser.nextTag();
//System.out.println(event.getClass());
assert event.isStartElement();
final String name1 = event.asStartElement().getName().getLocalPart();
if (name1.equals("dict")) {
while ((event = parser.nextTag()).isStartElement()) {
final String name2 = event.asStartElement().getName().getLocalPart();
if (name2.equals("key")) {
String key = parser.getElementText();
System.out.println("key: " + key);
} else if (name2.equals("String")) {
String number = parser.getElementText();
System.out.println("date: " + number);
} else if (name2.equals("date")) {
String str = parser.getElementText();
System.out.println("date: " + str);
}
}
}
assert parser.nextEvent().isEndDocument();
}
If I were you I'd use the PList
class from code.google.com/xmlwise. It's specifically designed for dealing with .plist files.
You will want to look at Apache Commons Configuration at http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-configuration/, which offers a pList parser. Here's a snippet example:
XMLPropertyListConfiguration plist = new XMLPropertyListConfiguration();
// load plist from classoath
URL url = this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResource(systemConfigFile);
plist.setFileName(url.getFile());
plist.load();
Iterator<String> keys = plist.getKeys();
while (keys.hasNext()) {
// do someting with the value
plist.getString(keys.next());
}
There is yet another project on github which is directly accessible for Maven-based projects: https://github.com/3breadt/dd-plist
