There is a new class available in Jaguar, the
NSPropertyListSerialization class (declared in NSPropertyList.h), which
has a class method,
propertyListFrom
Data:mutabilityOption:format:errorDescription: that
will do what you want. If you need your program to run on systems
before Jaguar, you should use the CFPropertyListCreateFromXMLData()
function, declared in CFPropertyList.h. The former is simply a wrapper
for the latter, but a little more convenient, as you don't have to make
an explicit cast to NSDictionary*.

This probably has a simple solution, but I have not been able to find
it in the docs. For strings I can do:
NSData *urlData = [url resourceDataUsingCache:[ii2Prefs useCache]];
NSString *contents = [[[NSString alloc] initWithData:urlData
encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding] autorelease];
The reason I do it instead ofusing withContentsOfURL is that I want to
control the use of any cache. But how do I do the same with an
NSDictionary? How do I change:
NSDictionary *tmpDict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfURL:
dictURL];
into something where I can control the use of a cache?
