Configuration File Converter

Build a simple configuration file converter that transforms JavaScript configuration objects into Apple plist format and vice versa. The converter should handle dictionary/object structures commonly found in application configuration files.

Requirements

Configuration to Plist Conversion

Create a function configToPlist that:

• Accepts a JavaScript configuration object
• Returns a plist XML string representation
• Handles nested configuration sections

Plist to Configuration Parsing

Create a function plistToConfig that:

• Accepts a plist XML string
• Returns a JavaScript configuration object
• Properly extracts nested configuration values

Test Cases

• Converting a flat configuration object {appName: "MyApp", version: "1.0"} to plist and back returns the original object @test
• Converting a nested configuration object with sections (e.g., {database: {host: "localhost", port: 5432}}) to plist and back preserves the structure @test
• Parsing a plist with dictionary entries correctly extracts all key-value pairs @test
