I don't believe it is; use .plist, and then if you don't like Property List
Editor, open plists with BBEdit or something similar. You're also only able
to write Numbers, Booleans, Strings, Data, and Dates to plists, in
Dictionary or Array form. If you want to encode a custom class, break it
down, or use NSArchiver.
Incidentally, does writeToFile: send that message to each of it's contained
objects (in the case of a dictionary or array, of course)? Just curious.I
don't know, but if it is true, you _could_ store custom classes in .plist
form, relatively easily. Hmm...
Hope this helps,
