    <p>It's not clear if you want to do the conversion on the iPhone or on the server. If it's on the server and you can use the Cocoa frameworks, the <code>NSPropertyListSerialization</code> provides services to convert between the supported plist types (string, XML, and binary) on OS X (since 10.2). There are also analogous methods in the Core Foundation library if you'd prefer to use that instead.</p> <p>To convert an XML plist to a binary one:</p> <pre><code>NSString *xmlPlistPath; // already set NSString *outPath; // already set NSData *plistData; NSString *error; NSPropertyListFormat format; id plist; plistData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:xmlPlistPath]; plist = [NSPropertyListSerialization propertyListFromData:plistData mutabilityOption:NSPropertyListImmutable format:&amp;format errorDescription:&amp;error]; if(plist == nil) { // unable to parse plist //deal with failure -- error gives description of the error } else { binaryPlistData = [NSPropertyListSerialization dataFromPropertyList:plist format:NSPropertyListBinaryFormat_v1_0 errorDescription:&amp;error]; if(binaryPlistData == nil) {//unable to create serialized plist // deal with failure -- error gives description of the error } if(![binaryPlistData writeToFile:outPath atomically:YES]) { // unable to write file } } </code></pre> <p>See <a href="http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/PropertyLists/Articles/SerializedPListsConcept.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20001016-55191" rel="noreferrer">Property List Pramming Guide</a> page on developer.apple.com for more information.</p>

    1. COI definitely want to perform the conversion on the server, as that only requires I perform it once and the iPhone has to do as little as possible to read the data; there is also potentially a lot less data to download. Thanks for this answer.

    2. COI was just looking for how to do that to cache data locally. Thanks!

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
