About

A plugin for Sublime Text that can convert PLIST XMLs to JSON and vice versa.

Usage

All commands are accessible via the command palatte. Comments are not preserved during conversion.

Plist Json Converter: JSON to PLIST

Command that converts an open JSON file to PLIST. It will strip C style comments and also try and catch forgotten trailing commas.

Plist Json Converter: Save JSON to PLIST

Command that converts an open JSON file to PLIST and saves it to a plist file. File name is determined by the conversion_ext setting. It will strip C style comments and also try and catch forgotten trailing commas. If the file to convert does not exist on disk, the converted file will not initially either, but it will only be shown in the view buffer until saved manually.

Settings

enable_save_to_file_commands

Allows the disabling of the "save to file" commands in the command palette

enable_show_in_buffer_commands

Allows the disabling of the "show conversion if view buffer" commands in the command palette

open_in_new_buffer

When a "show conversion in view buffer" command is executed, this will force the conversion to show up in its own new view buffer.

conversion_ext

Allows you to provide a mapping from any plist extension to a choosen json extension and vice versa. They are evaluated in the order they appear.

json_language

Allows the selection of a given ST2 language file to be used for the converted buffer or file.

plist_language

Allows the selection of a given ST2 language file to be used for the converted buffer or file.

Linux Issues

I have provided a fix for Ubuntu. Ubuntu requires a full install of Python2.6, but it only comes with a minimal install by default. You can enter the command below in your linux terminal to get the full install.

sudo apt-get install python2.6

I have provided the Python lib path in the settings file so it may be adapted for other distros in needed.

"linux_python2.6_lib": "/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload"
