Do we all agree that Core Data, Foundation, and the Application Kit
compose Cocoa ? What other sub-frameworks should be considered
part of Cocoa ?
IMHO Cocoa is everything in Cocoa.framework.
There are other Objective-C frameworks on Mac OS X, but they are not,
strictly speaking, Cocoa (though they do use ObjC).
This seems like a sensible way to delimit the functionality of
"Cocoa" per se, and matches what people (Apple in particular) do with
Carbon. i.e. Carbon is everything in Carbon.framework. Other C APIs
exist on the system, but they are not part of Carbon (though the
implementation of Carbon---and indeed Cocoa---in many cases relies on
them).
Kind regards,
Alastair.
