The
Foundation framework defines a base layer of Objective-C classes. In addition
to providing a set of useful primitive object classes, it introduces several
paradigms that define functionality not covered by the Objective-C language.
The Foundation framework is designed with these goals in mind:
·Provide a small set of basic utility classes.
·Make software development easier by introducing
consistent conventions for things such as deallocation.
·Support Unicode strings, object persistence, and
object distribution.
·Provide a level of OS independence, to enhance
portability.
