JSON to Plist Converter

Create a typed XML property list

Apple property lists preserve value types through explicit dictionary, array, string, integer, real, and boolean elements. This converter parses valid JSON and recursively serializes those values into an XML plist document with the standard declaration, doctype, and plist root. Keys and text are XML-escaped, so ampersands and angle brackets do not corrupt the output.

With the default object, name is written as a key followed by a string containing Ada, while active is followed by a true element. Whole numbers use integer, decimals use real, nested objects become dict nodes, and arrays retain their order. The result can be copied into a file for inspection or further editing with platform tools.

Supported plist values and null handling

JSON null has no direct property-list value type, so the converter reports an explicit error instead of fabricating a placeholder. JSON also cannot distinguish plist dates or binary data from ordinary strings; those need intentional conversion afterward. Serialization runs only in your browser. Validate the final plist with the tooling used by your Apple project before replacing signed or managed configuration.
