OpenStep didn't even include streams. NS*Stream only got added in  
MacOS 10.3 or 10.4.


This is why most people wrote their own streaming library, eg ours  
can be found here:

  http://svn.opengroupware.org/SOPE/trunk/sope-core/NGStreams/

eg this includes NGCharBuffer which is good for writing streamed  
parsers.

Notably streaming only makes sense if you are really exchanging a LOT  
of data (rather unlikely for typical JSON applications).


"but I do not know where the encoded dictionary ends until I have  
parsed it". You should use JSON-RPC over HTTP, Foundation has a full  
HTTP client builtin and simple HTTP servers are available too (eg  
Richards libWebServer).
I have no idea why JSON-RPC encourages the use of a plain socket.
