> ObjFW is a highly portable, lightweight, general purpose, open source
> Objective-C framework with full Objective-C 2.0, blocks, ARC support
> and support for all the latest ObjC language additions, providing not
> only basic classes like strings, arrays and dictionaries, but also
> providing abstractions for OS-dependant functionality like asynchronous
> sockets and larger classes like a full-blown HTTP server.

> While a lot of the core API is similar to Foundation, it breaks with
> Foundation's API on purpose in many places to embrace new features
> which Foundation can't use completely due to its backwards
> compatibility. One such example are exceptions, which are a first class
> citizen in ObjFW and not merely to inform the programmer of his
> wrongdoings like in Foundation.
> 
> ObjFW runs on a huge list of platforms and offers the same API on all
> of them so that software written using ObjFW runs on all platforms
> supported by ObjFW without #ifdef hells or the like. It does not only
> run on almost any POSIX system that supports GCC >= 4 (that also
> includes OS X and iOS, of course!), but it also works on Windows and
> niche platforms like the PlayStation Portable, Nintendo DS, MS-DOS or
> even bare-metal without any OS.
> 
> It also supports using it together with Foundation in the same project
> or even source file so that it's possible to write the core of an
> application using ObjFW and a GUI using Cocoa and another GUI using
> e.g. Gtk+. It offers a bridge between ObjFW and Foundation to easily
> convert objects between the different frameworks by creating a wrapper
> object instead of copying the actual object.
> e Apple runtime and 3.0 with ObjFW's.

> Because I fail at doing releases, there has been no release for over 2
> years, meaning the changes of ObjFW 0.8 are insanely huge. If you have
> already used ObjFW, I suggest reading the ChangeLog, which tries to
> summarize all the changes as briefly as possible. If you haven't used it
> yet, why not give it a try?
