=head1 NAME

Mac::PropertyList::XS - work with Mac plists at a low level, really fast

=cut

package Mac::PropertyList::XS;

=head1 SYNOPSIS

See L and L

=head1 DESCRIPTION

L was my first attempt to speed up property-list
parsing. It achieves about a 30x speed boost, but large files still take
too long for my taste. This module addresses some remaining speed gains
by implementing some expensive operations in C.

This module is intended to be a drop-in replacement for
L, which is itself a drop-in replacement for
L.

=head1 EXPORTS

By default, no functions are exported. Specify individual functions to export
as usual, or use the tags ':all', ':create', and ':parse' for the appropriate
sets of functions (':create' includes the create* functions as well as
plist_as_string; ':parse' includes the parse* functions).

}

=item parse_plist_fh

See L

=cut

sub parse_plist_fh { _parse(parse => @_) }

=item parse_plist

See L

=cut

sub parse_plist { _parse(parse => @_) }

=item parse_plist_string

An alias to parse_plist, provided for better regularity compared to Perl SAX.

=cut

*parse_plist_string = \&parse_plist;

=item create_from_ref( HASH_REF | ARRAY_REF )

Create a plist from an array or hash reference.

The values of the hash can be simple scalars or references. Hash and array
references are handled recursively, and L objects are output
correctly.  All other scalars are treated as strings (use L
objects to represent other types of scalars).

Returns a string representing the reference in serialized plist format.

=item create_from_hash( HASH_REF )

Provided for backward compatibility with L: aliases
create_from_ref.

=item create_from_array( ARRAY_REF )

Provided for backward compatibility with L: aliases
create_from_ref.
