我正在尝试从XML PList（Apple System Profiler）文件中提取数据，并将其读入内存数据库，最后我想将其转换为人类可读的内容。
问题在于格式似乎很难以一致的方式阅读。我已经解决了一些解决方案，但我还没有找到解决方案，我觉得很满意。我总是不得不对很多值进行硬编码，最终需要很多if-else/switch statements。
格式如下所示。
<plist>
<key>_system</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>_cpu_type</key>
<string>Intel Core Duo</string>
</dict>
</array>
</plist>
示例文件here。
在我阅读之后（或在阅读期间），我使用了一个内部字典来确定它是什么类型的信息。例如，如果密钥是cpu_type，我会相应地保存信息。
我尝试过的一些例子（simplified）来提取信息。
XmlTextReader reader = new
XmlTextReader("C:\\test.spx");
reader.XmlResolver = null;
reader.ReadStartElement("plist");
String key = String.Empty; String str
= String.Empty;
Int32 Index = 0;
while (reader.Read()) {
if (reader.LocalName == "key")
{
Index++;
key = reader.ReadString();
}
else if (reader.LocalName == "string")
{
str = reader.ReadString();
if (key != String.Empty)
{
dct.Add(Index, new KeyPair(key, str));
key = String.Empty;
}
}
}
或类似的东西。
foreach (var d in xdoc.Root.Elements("plist"))
dict.Add(d.Element("key").Value,> d.Element("string").Value);
我找到了一个框架，我可以修改here。
更有用的信息
Mac OS X系统探查器here上的信息。
Apple脚本用于解析XML文件here。
对此有任何建议或见解将深表感谢。
答案 0 :(得分：9)
我首先想到的只是使用XSLT（XSL转换）。根据你在上述评论中的答案，我不知道你正在寻找什么样的格式，但我认为我至少得到了要点。除非你需要一些特别的东西，我没想到，我相信XSLT足够强大，可以完成你需要的一切，而且不需要一堆复杂的循环结构。
如果你不熟悉，那么在w3schools上有很多关于XSLT的好信息（可能从介绍：http://www.w3schools.com/xsl/xsl_intro.asp开始），维基百科也有很好的写作（http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XSLT）。
总是需要一段时间才能按照我想要的方式运行规则;这是一种不同的思考这种转变的方式，让我有些习惯。有必要对XPATH有一个正确的理解。我经常不得不同时参考XSLT规范（http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt）和XPATH规范（http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath/），因为我只有一点经验，可能一旦你使用过它一段时间它会更顺利。
无论如何，我有一个我以前写过的应用程序来玩这些翻译。它是一个带有三个文本框的C＃应用程序：一个用于XSLT，一个用于源，一个用于输出。我花了一些时间（好吧，很多）试图获得第一次处理样本数据的XSLT，以了解它有多难以及变换的结构是什么。我想我终于想出了所需要的东西，但由于我不确切知道你需要什么样的格式，我就到了那里。
这是示例转换输出的链接：http://pastebin.com/SMFxUdDK。
以下是实际进行转换的所有代码，包含在您可以用来开发的表单中。它并不华丽，但对我来说效果很好。 “繁重的提升”都是在“btnTransform_Click（）”处理程序中完成的，而且我已经实现了一个XmlStringWriter，以便按照我想要的方式输出内容。这里工作的主要部分就是提出XSLT指令，在.NET XslCompiledTransform类中，您可以很好地处理实际的转换。然而，我觉得我花了足够的时间来弄清楚它上面的所有细节，当我写它时值得给出一个有效的例子......
请注意我在运行中更改了几个命名空间，并且还在XSLT中添加了一些轻松的注释，所以如果有问题请告诉我，我会更正它们。
所以，没有进一步的说法：;）
