We've blogged about the .nessus format (it is XML) and posted an XSD and 
English guide to what the format can do here:

Is there any other way to pull the plugin data?

There is an actual plugins.xml file on the Windows Nessus scanner in the 
  plugins directory which contains information about the plugins on the 
scanner.

If you are coding on UNIX, if you install Nessus on your system, you can 
use some of the 'nessus' command line options to connect to your Nessus 
scanners and obtain plugin information.
