objective c - Command-line tool for converting PLIST to JSON?

Question

Is there a command line tool available for converting .plist files to JSON?

If not, what would be the approach for creating one using Objective-C or C on a Mac? For instance, there is JSONKit, for Objective-C. How would one go about opening a .plist file, pass it to JSONKit, and serialize that as JSON?

If you are on a Mac you can use the plutil tool on the command line (this comes with the developer tools I believe):

plutil -convert json Data.plist

as mentioned in the comments, this will overwrite the existing data. To output to a new file

plutil -convert json -o Data.json Data.plist
