I have some data that has been encoded in NSArchiver form, and I need
the end user to be able to extract it into my program. NSArchiver is
a deprecated API from all I can tell, and NSKeyedArchiver is it's
replacement. Maybe I did something wrong, but NSKeyedArchiver doesn't
seem to be compatible with NSArchiver created data. This leaves me in
somewhat of a tight spot. I'd like to use current API's in my program
so that my program will be able to continue working, while still
retaining the ability to read this older data.
Is there any method for reading NSArchiver data after NSArchiver
drops off the face of the Earth? It seems odd to me there is no plan
to deal with already NSArchiver serialized data out there.
Note: I'm not encoding the data created with NSArchiver, rather I am
decoding existing data generated elsewhere with NSArchiver. So I
don't have control of the data format, it is already in NSArchiver
form. So please, don't blame me for using NSArchiver to encode data
in the first place. :)
Thanks,
Colin
