Dictionary for Dark Side jargon

  • Array = An ordered collection of descriptions (see Property list)
The order of items in arrays matters.
  • Data file = A data file contains descriptions. These can contain dictionaries and/or arrays
  • Dictionary = A collection of defining descriptions (see Property list)
The order of items in dictionaries does not matter – they are unordered collections of definitions.
  • Plist = Property list. Actually a "data file" containing descriptions. These usually contain dictionaries and sometimes arrays too.
  • Script = A script contains instructions ("if" this, "then" do that!).
