Plists are stored as XML files under the hood. See the Apple Developer Docs (https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/PropertyLists/UnderstandXMLPlist/UnderstandXMLPlist.html). In Xcode, Plists are opened in a custom editor, but you can access the "raw" XML by right clicking on the Plist, select "Open as" -> "Source code". And, voila, there is your XML file :)
