Question

The title sums it up. Would that be possible, as in, is the data structure of a PLIST file possible to generate efficiently via PHP for an Objective-C app to read? Or, would a different format like XML be better?

I’m more keen to go with PLIST as I hear it’s easier to parse from Obj-C, and won’t require any external libraries (this is for an iPhone app, not Mac – where I’d just use NSXMLParser or whatever it’s called).

Answer 1

Of course it’s possible. The plist format is well-documented. Further more, one of the representations is in XML format.
