Features

A Flutter plugin for Apple's Binary Plist and the NSKeyedArchiver/NSKeyedUnarchiver format. Inspired by the bpylist2 package.

These types are supported to archive and unarchive back:

• int
• double
• bool
• String
• List
• Map
• Set

Getting started

Run this command

 flutter pub add ns_keyed_archived

This will add a line like this to your package's pubspec.yaml

dependencies:
  ....
  ns_keyed_archiver: ^0.0.2

Usage

import 'package:ns_keyed_archived/ns_keyed_archived.dart';

void main() {
  final data = {
    'key': 'value',
    'key2': 123,
    'key3': [1, 2, 3],
    'key4': {'key': 'value'}
  };

  // archive the data to a byte array
  final bytes = NSKeyedArchiver.archive(data);
  
  // unarchive the byte array back to the original data
  // 
  // You can use NSKeyedArchiver.unarchive(file.readAsBytesSync()) to unarchive from a file
  final decoded = NSKeyedArchiver.unarchive(bytes);
  
  assert(data == decoded);
}
