I think you may want to carefully consider if you want to use
plist format
at all - although it has a simple API, there are multiple
disadvantages that
may hurt you in the long run.
Property Lists were never intended for managing large amounts of
application data; according to the docs, they are "for situations
where you need to store **small amounts** of persistent
data" (emphasis added). It sounds like you're dealing with something
on a significantly larger scale, so you should be using a file format
(whether XML-based or other) designed for the task at hand.
