Thank you for this detailed post. I find that it is a little bit
complicated for what I need right now, but I may go back and rework
it along the lines you suggest in the future should my needs change.
There's no reason why I couldn't keep backwards compatibility.

For Mutable subclasses of the above just call the immutable version
then return an autoreleased mutable copy.
These just call into MyJSONRepresentation and check that the class
returned from - (id) objectFromJSONRepresentation is the right one.
Additionally on NSSString, since it's just convenient and matches
the plist stuff, I'd add:
- (id) objectFromJSONRepresentation;
You may want to add the mutability options that NSPropertyList does
if you require that.
Anyway I think that'll work well because people will be used to the
pattern, all your JSON code ends in one place (MyJSONSerialization)
and you can put the code for the categories on string, dictionary
and array in there too.
So that's my advice. This is very much bike shed territory though -
everyone's going to have an opinion on how to do it best. :)
