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).
Should a native Cocoa application NOT use the CF calls? Are CF & NS objects completely transparent?
Is there any Apple provided documentation that discusses this? All I can find seem to be oriented to Carbon & Core Foundation.
Thanks,
Steve Sheets
