The contents of a plist can be expanded or collapsed in its entirety with commands via the context
menu (i.e. right click menu).

Description
Binary Plists
This extension can view and edit binary plists by converting the binary plist into its XML
representation. This XML version is a separate file in a temporary directory. The temporary file
is watched for changes and any changes are automatically saved back to the binary version.
Other supported file types
This extension can view and edit entitlements files (i.e. .entitlements) which are simply
property list files with a different file extension.
It can also view provisioning profiles (i.e. .mobileprovision) by decrypting them into their
plist representation. Editing provisioning profiles is not supported. [macOS only]
Known Issues
Inefficient file saves. When saving changes to a file this extension replaces the entire contents
of the file. This should be optimized to edit only the portion that has changed.
Inefficient editor rendering. When changes are made to the webview (e.g. adding an item, expanding
an item, editing a value, etc) the webview is rerendered in its entirety. This should be optimized
to edit the DOM in place.
