    <p>I don't think you are going to be able to do this with an NSBrowser or NSOutlineView. The reason I say that is because if you are using bindings with those views you need to use an NSTreeController. NSTreeController provides the ability to specify which keys in your model indicate whether or not the current object has children objects (isLeaf) and how to access the children objects (children).</p> <p>So if you are going to use one of those two views, you must be able to add additional keys and properties to your model to do so. Many times when I work with NSOutlineView and NSBrowser I find it easiest to skip bindings altogether and just use the all delegate &amp; datasource methods. They require more code but they aren't hard to put together and sometimes I prefer them to bindings if my data model is complex or if the data is not in a format that is easily pumped through an NSTreeController.</p> <p>However you could use an NSTableView by doing the following.</p> <ol> <li>Create an NSDictionaryController in your NIB.</li> <li>In the controller that reads in your plist, create an outlet for the NSDictionaryController and hookup the outlet using Interface Builder.</li> <li>In the code that reads the plist, add an additional line of code that set's the NSDictionaryController's content to the root dictionary from the plist.</li> <li>In your NIB, create an NSArrayController. Bind the array controller's "Content Array" binding to the NSDictionaryController. For the "Controller Key" binding property, specify "arrangedObjects".</li> <li>Now take an NSTableView and place it in your NIB. Bind each of the NSTableColumn's "Value" bindings to the NSArrayController and for the "Controller Key" binding property, specify the key from the dictionary whose value you want to display in the table column.</li> </ol>

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).
