Deprecated NSDeserializer Methods
A method identified as deprecated has been superseded and may become unsupported in the future.
Deprecated in Mac OS X v10.2
deserializePropertyListFromData:atCursor:mutableContainers:
Returns a property list object from a given location in a given serialized representation of a property list. (Deprecated in Mac OS X v10.2.)
+ (id)deserializePropertyListFromData:(NSData *)data atCursor:(unsigned *)cursor mutableContainers:(BOOL)mutable
Parameters
- data
A serialized representation of a property list.
- cursor
- mutable
If
YESand the property list object is a dictionary or an array, the recomposed object is made mutable
Return Value
A property list object corresponding to the representation in data at the location cursor. Returns nil if the property list object is not valid for property lists.
Availability
- Deprecated in Mac OS X v10.2.
Declared In
NSSerialization.h
deserializePropertyListFromData:mutableContainers:
Returns a property list object from given serialized data, optionally making the list elements mutable. (Deprecated in Mac OS X v10.2.)
+ (id)deserializePropertyListFromData:(NSData *)serialization mutableContainers:(BOOL)mutable
Parameters
- serialization
A serialized representation of a property list.
- mutable
If
YESand the property list object is a dictionary or an array, the recomposed object is made mutable.
Return Value
A property list object corresponding to the representation in serialization, or nil if serialization does not represent a property list.
Availability
- Deprecated in Mac OS X v10.2.
Declared In
NSSerialization.h
deserializePropertyListLazilyFromData:atCursor:length:mutableContainers:
Returns a property list from a given location in a given serialized representation of a property list. (Deprecated in Mac OS X v10.2.)
+ (id)deserializePropertyListLazilyFromData:(NSData *)data atCursor:(unsigned *)cursor length:(unsigned)length mutableContainers:(BOOL)mutable
Parameters
- data
A serialized representation of a property list.
- cursor
The cursor location.
- length
The number of bytes to read.
- mutable
If
YESand the object is a dictionary or an array, the recomposed object is made mutable.
Return Value
A property list from data at location cursor, or nil if data does not represent a property list.
Discussion
The deserialization proceeds lazily—that is, if the data at cursor has a length greater than length, a proxy is substituted for the actual property list as long as the constituent objects of that property list are not accessed.
Availability
- Deprecated in Mac OS X v10.2.
