and :func:`loads`.

dictionary).
The *fmt* is the format of the file and the following values are valid:
* :data:`None`: Autodetect the file format
* :data:`FMT_XML`: XML file format
* :data:`FMT_BINARY`: Binary plist format
If *use_builtin_types* is true (the default) binary data will be returned
as instances of :class:`bytes`, otherwise it is returned as instances of
:class:`Data`.
The *dict_type* is the type used for dictionaries that are read from the
plist file. The exact structure of the plist can be recovered by using
:class:`collections.OrderedDict` (although the order of keys shouldn't be
important in plist files).
XML data for the :data:`FMT_XML` format is parsed using the Expat parser
from :mod:`xml.parsers.expat` -- see its documentation for possible
exceptions on ill-formed XML. Unknown elements will simply be ignored
by the plist parser.
The parser for the binary format raises :exc:`InvalidFileException`
when the file cannot be parsed.
.. versionadded:: 3.4
.. function:: loads(data, \*, fmt=None, use_builtin_types=True, dict_type=dict)
Load a plist from a bytes object. See :func:`load` for an explanation of
the keyword arguments.
.. versionadded:: 3.4
.. function:: dump(value, fp, \*, fmt=FMT_XML, sort_keys=True, skipkeys=False)
Write *value* to a plist file. *Fp* should be a writable, binary
file object.
The *fmt* argument specifies the format of the plist file and can be
one of the following values:
* :data:`FMT_XML`: XML formatted plist file
* :data:`FMT_BINARY`: Binary formatted plist file
When *sort_keys* is true (the default) the keys for dictionaries will be
written to the plist in sorted order, otherwise they will be written in
the iteration order of the dictionary.
When *skipkeys* is false (the default) the function raises :exc:`TypeError`
when a key of a dictionary is not a string, otherwise such keys are skipped.
A :exc:`TypeError` will be raised if the object is of an unsupported type or
a container that contains objects of unsupported types.
An :exc:`OverflowError` will be raised for integer values that cannot
be represented in (binary) plist files.
.. versionadded:: 3.4
.. function:: dumps(value, \*, fmt=FMT_XML, sort_keys=True, skipkeys=False)
Return *value* as a plist-formatted bytes object. See
the documentation for :func:`dump` for an explanation of the keyword
arguments of this function.
.. versionadded:: 3.4
The following functions are deprecated:
.. function:: readPlist(pathOrFile)
Read a plist file. *pathOrFile* may be either a file name or a (readable
and binary) file object. Returns the unpacked root object (which usually
is a dictionary).
This function calls :func:`load` to do the actual work, see the documentation
of :func:`that function <load>` for an explanation of the keyword arguments.
.. note::
Dict values in the result have a ``__getattr__`` method that defers
to ``__getitem_``. This means that you can use attribute access to
access items of these dictionaries.
.. deprecated:: 3.4 Use :func:`load` instead.

The following classes are available:
.. class:: Dict([dict]):
Return an extended mapping object with the same value as dictionary

This class is a subclass of :class:`dict` where attribute access can
be used to access items. That is, ``aDict.key`` is the same as
``aDict['key']`` for getting, setting and deleting items in the mapping.
