Plist to JSON to XML

What it solves

Convert Apple plist to JSON then to generic XML.

The pipeline

1 Plist To Json plist-to-json

Plist To Json — pure client-side tool. Privacy-first, no server round-trip. Simplified demo implementation — basic text extraction, not a full plist parser (typed nodes such as integer/real are not preserved).
2 JSON XML Converter json-xml

Convert between JSON and XML formats online. Free, private, and 100% client-side.

Params: mode=json-to-xml

Sample input

<?xml version="1.0"?><plist version="1.0"><dict><key>name</key><string>test</string></dict></plist>

Expected output

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
  <content>&lt;dict&gt;&lt;key&gt;name&lt;/key&gt;&lt;string&gt;test&lt;/string&gt;&lt;/dict&gt;</content>
</root>

This pair is executed against the real tools at build time (tests/unit/recipes.test.ts) — the expected output is verified, not illustrative.
