I see there is a - (NSString *)description that converts the NSDictionary into a string; however, is there a way of taking that string and creating a dictionary from it? I didn't see any init methods like this. I'd like to send a dictionary to a thread (or across a network) and recieve a dictionary in return?

One way would be to transmit bytes from NSData

on the sending end...

NSData* theDataToSend = [NSArchiver archivedDataWithRootObject:yourDictionary];
// send the bytes from the data object


on the receiving end...

NSData* theData = build up with received bytes
NSDictionary* theDictionary = [NSUnarchiver unarchiveObjectWithData:theSentData];
