Interchange Apple App configurations to Cross-Platform JSON

Property Lists (.plist) are Apple's proprietary XML schema used to store metadata, user configurations, and hardware parameters for iOS app bundles, macOS launch daemons, and Xcode specifications. Converting these structures to cross-platform JSON is essential when editing parameters or porting keys to React Native, Node.js, or Flutter architectures. Our utility runs secure recursive parsers client-side without outer servers.
