Re: Returning structs of NSStrings

I've noticed that dealing with large structs of NSStrings can get really annoying ("copying" these structs can only be done via copying each NSString in them [right?]). So should I make all of these into classes, providing accessor methods? Or am I missing out on something again?

Depends on the actual task of course, but most probably, instead of structs you want to use dictionaries:

[mydict setObject:o forKey:@"whatever"]; // instead of mystruct.whatever=o
o=[mydict objectForKey:@"whatever"]; // instead of o=mystruct.whatever


Yes, I had that idea, but my key/value-pairs will have to be in a specific order, which rules out a standard NSDictionary.
But you still solved my problem by reminding me of the goold old categories :-)

I can just insert my own category with a method -(NSString*)xml; which produces the (ordered) xml-String! Great, thanks!

Bye,
Michael
