Hi,
if I archive objects with NSArchiver and write them to disc - is there some
"guarantee" that the format will stay the same, and so these objects are
loadable in future versions of Cocoa (perhaps running on other processors
with other endianess and so on)?
NSArchiver is a nice way to save documents in Applications, but of course I
must be shure that the documents written by older versions of my Application
or older Cocoa Frameworks must be loadable by newer (and future) versions of
my Application or newer/future Cocoa Frameworks/Runtimes.
