A PList file, like Mankoff said, is just a specially formatted XML file, so you can actually edit and create them in a program like TextEdit.

Because of the specific nature of PLists to Development, however, using a special program like Xcode or Property List Editor becomes a much more fruitful endeavor. This is because it not only automatically formats the XML code for you, but it will actually translate the key identifiers and layers into readable words, and also for some values it will provide a drop-down menu to fill in the correct responses. Especially when dealing with iPhone plists, when multiple runtime variables can be set using the Plist, easily creating new fields and knowing what to put in them makes it so much easier.

You can get bot Xcode and PList Editor from the Apple Developer website http://developer.apple.com for free by downloading the latest Xcode release.

If the plist file is in the XML format, you can edit it in any text editor like TextEdit. If the plist file is in the binary format, you can convert it to XML first by running:

If you want to go back to binary format after editing:

If you have Xcode 4.3 or later, you can use it to edit property lists in a graphical editor like this:

Xcode 4.2 and earlier came with a separate application for editing property lists (/Developer/Applications/Utilities/Property List Editor.app/).

A fine program like TextWrangler can edit binary .plist files without first converting them using Terminal. Simply open the file like you would any other (i.e. drag-and-drop on the program icon, or the File open dialog, or Open With in the Finder or..)

Since Apple got rid of the GUI Property List Editor, Xcode is the best free option if you want to be sure of the result.

There are some gotcha's using a generic code editor to edit plist files. Since dictionaries use entries like

You can create a valid XML file that is not a valid plist file, for example:

If you're willing to go commercial, Plistinator will edit both binary and XML plist files.

On a Terminal window, you can use PlistBuddy, available at /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy.

PlistBuddy can read and modify values inside of a plist, either interactively or directly on the command line.

However, PlistBuddy is not a GUI editor.

What is a PLIST file?

Plist Editor Windows

Files with the .plist extension contain property information about a variety of different Mac OS programs. These files are a part of the OS X Core Foundation. They are used by a number of OS X applications.

In some cases, files with the .plist extension will be called 'preference' files. PLIST files can be saved in either ASCII, XML or Binary format. The older PLIST files are written in ASCII format and they are for older versions of the Mac operating system. The XML PLIST files are used for versions of the Mac OS that were distributed prior to Tiger. The PLIST files that are saved in binary format are used for the Tiger operating system.
