About the only description I can find of the 'ascii' format of Apple's plist is:

Therein is an example of dictionary text that should parse to a NSDictionary, namely:

  {
AnimalSmells = { pig = piggish; lamb = lambish; worm = wormy; };
      AnimalSounds = { pig = oink; lamb = baa; worm = baa;
Lisa = "Why is the worm talking like a lamb?"; }
      AnimalColors = { pig = pink; lamb = black; worm = pink; }
  }

However, NSPropertyListSerialization.dictionaryForString fails to parse it. If semi-colons are appended to the 4th and 5th lines, all is well, ie:

  {
     AnimalSmells = { pig = piggish; lamb = lambish; worm = wormy; };
     AnimalSounds = { pig = oink; lamb = baa; worm = baa;
Lisa = "Why is the worm talking like a lamb?"; }; <=== AnimalColors = { pig = pink; lamb = black; worm = pink; }; <===
  }

I believe the documentation is in error, and that the WebObjects parser is correct ... Gavin
