ObjCCBOR allows encoding and decoding Foundation-objects into/from CBOR representation.
Supported types:
NSDictionaryNSArrayNSStringNSNumberNSNullNSData
Encoding
#import <ObjCCBOR/ObjCCBOR.h>
NSDictionary *dictionary = ...;
NSError *error = nil;
NSData *cborData = [ObjCCBOR encode:dictionary error:&error];Decoding
#import <ObjCCBOR/ObjCCBOR.h>
NSData *data = ...; // CBOR data
NSError *error = nil;
id decoded = [ObjCCBOR decode:data error:&error];ObjCCBOR is built on top of tinycbor
which is integrated as git subrepo.
When embedding this CBOR library within a distributed framework (or library),
there is a risk of running into symbol conflicts if the embedding binary or one
of its other dependencies also embed this CBOR library. All C symbols can be
hidden at link time of the final binary by adding -Wl,-hidden-lObjCCBOR to
OTHER_LDFLAGS.
However, Objective-C types must be unique per process. Therefore, this library
adds support for mangling all relevant types by generating a Mangling.h header
that defines macros that will prefix the original symbols with a custom build
setting OBJC_CBOR_MANGLING_PREFIX. This allows the source to use the original
ObjCCBOR type names, while renaming them behind the scenes at build time.
Typically, your final distribution binary is built by CI via xcodebuild, so
all you have to do is pass a unique mangling prefix like so:
xcodebuild build ... OBJC_CBOR_MANGLING_PREFIX=MyPersonalObjCCBORBuild123Andrew Podkovyrin, podkovyrin@gmail.com Hamilton Chapman, hamchapman@gmail.com Connor Power, connor@connorpower.com
