What this tool helps you do
Move basic configuration values between JSON and Apple’s XML property-list format. Dictionaries, arrays, strings, booleans and finite numeric values are supported in both directions. XML plist dates and data values are exported with explicit tagged JSON objects instead of silently becoming unrelated ordinary strings. Dictionary key order is preserved where the output format permits it.
Format rules and limitations
This handles XML plist, not binary plist or application preference synchronization. JSON null has no plist equivalent and is rejected. Tagged date/data reports are not automatically inferred when encoding JSON back to plist. The standard Apple plist DOCTYPE may be recognized and removed locally; other DTDs, entity declarations and external resource loading are not supported. Malformed structures, duplicate dictionary keys and excessive depth are errors.
Example input
{"name":"Utilixio","enabled":true,"ports":[3000,3001]}What should I check before relying on the output?

Is input uploaded?
This tool sends input to this site’s conversion API after you select Convert on server. Files use bounded workers and, when needed, private temporary folders deleted after processing or cancellation. No conversion history is saved. The converter does not upload files to a third-party conversion service.
