I am a little confused about intent of Core Foundation in regard to
Cocoa & Carbon, and was hoping some people would shed some light on
this.
Apple's documentation repeatedly talks about using Core Foundation from
within Carbon, as a bridge to Cocoa functionality. Was Core Foundation
not intended to be used within Cocoa applications? Most, but not all,
of the Core Foundation parts are duplicated in Cocoa. For example, CF
String Services & URL Services vs NSString & NSURL. Yet other CF seem
to have no NS equivalent (ex. Plug In Services & XML Services).
The Plugin services would be the same as NSBundle.. the XML stuff
isn't duplicated, which is a bit sad.. but you can use it.
Should a native Cocoa application NOT use the CF calls? Are CF & NS
objects completely transparent?
They aren't all completely transparent.. but many are bridged...
CFString/NSString, CFDictionary/NSDictionary, etc...
