Frequently Asked Questions

What is a plist file?
A plist (property list) stores structured data on Apple platforms. XML plists are readable text with tags like dict, key, string, array. Common files include Info.plist and .entitlements.
Will this change my keys or values?
The tool only reformats whitespace and indentation. It does not rename keys or alter string values except normalizing XML escaping in the serialized output.
Is my plist uploaded?
No. Parsing and formatting happen entirely in your browser.
