Consider NSJSONSerialization. -jwd// Joseph W. Dixon
OS X 10.9 Newb questions re: serializing an NSDictionary for network transfer to another process. I've read over the Apple documentation, but it seems to detail the methods involved but not how to use serialization, and some methods seem to require writing archives or plist files to disk. So, I must be approaching this all wrong... (1) I see that NSDictionary has an encoding method: - (void)encodeWithCoder:(NSCoder *)coder; but this returns (void), which is puzzling to me. I would expect it to return (void *) to a malloced region containing the serialization. Where does the object serialization reside, and how do I access it? (2) On the receiving end, I see that NSDictionary has the method: - (id)initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)coder; How do I apply this method to the byte stream that I have received to instantiate a populated NSDictionary object? -Carl _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
