Objective-C 学习笔记 08 - Property List

使用plist可以将应用程序的一些数据写入到文件系统中，这是一种比CoreData简单的数据管理方式。

Property list支持以下数据类型：

• NSArray
• NSDictionary
• NSString
• NSData
• NSDate
• NSNumber

新建名为stockz的命令行程序工程，创建多个NSMutableDictionary对象存储股票名称和持有该股票的数量，将多只股票的信息存入数组中，最后将数组写入plist文件中。

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

int main(int argc, const char * argv[]) {
    @autoreleasepool {
        
        NSMutableArray *stocks = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
        
        NSMutableDictionary *stock;
        
        stock = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
        [stock setObject:@"AAPL" forKey:@"symbol"];
        [stock setObject:[NSNumber numberWithInt:200] forKey:@"shares"];
        [stocks addObject:stock];
        
        stock = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
        [stock setObject:@"GOOG" forKey:@"symbol"];
        [stock setObject:[NSNumber numberWithInt:160] forKey:@"shares"];
        [stocks addObject:stock];
        
        [stocks writeToFile:@"/tmp/stocks.plist" atomically:YES];
        
    }
    return 0;
}

执行程序，将在/tmp目录下生成stocks.plist，其内如如下：

接下来，我们读取plist文件中的内容：

        [stocks writeToFile:@"/tmp/stocks.plist" atomically:YES];
        
        NSArray *stockList = [NSArray arrayWithContentsOfFile:@"/tmp/stocks.plist"];
        for (NSDictionary *d in stockList)
        {
            NSLog(@"I have %@ shares of %@", [d objectForKey:@"shares"], [d objectForKey:@"symbol"]);
        }

程序执行结果如下：

I have 200 shares of AAPL
I have 160 shares of GOOG
