Hi,

I noticed in the latest message that d9pounces posted that "JSON format does not allow dates and data, so XML is used by default to write files.". Rthe XML version of plists also do not really 'support' those types, and they are converted as follows:

NSData -> Base64 encoded data
NSDate -> ISO 8601 formatted string

(from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Property_list#Mac_OS_X)

So really it should be the same thing when converting to json no?
