The GNUstep base library contains a powerful set of non-graphical Objective-C classes that can readily be used in your programs. At present there are approximately 70 different classes available, including classes to handle strings and arrays, dates and times, distributed objects, URLs and file systems (to name but a few).
Features:
- Strings
- Collections (arrays, sets, dictionaries) and enumerators
- File management
- object archiving
- advanced calendar date manipulation
- Distributed Objects and inter-process communication
- URL handling
- Notifications (and distributed notifications)
- easy multi-threading
- Timers
- Locks
- Exception handling
