8//! This is the [`std`] equivalent for Objective-C, containing essential data
9//! types, collections, and operating-system services.
10//!
11//!
12//! ## Rust vs. Objective-C types
13//!
14//! A quick overview of some types you will encounter often in Objective-C,
15//! and their approximate Rust equivalent.
16//!
17//! | Objective-C                  | (approximately) equivalent Rust               |
18//! | ---------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
19//! | `NSData*`                    | `Rc<[u8]>`                                    |
20//! | `NSMutableData*`             | `Rc<Cell<Vec<u8>>>`                           |
21//! | `NSString*`                  | `Rc<str>`                                     |
22//! | `NSMutableString*`           | `Rc<Cell<String>>`                            |
23//! | `NSValue*`                   | `Rc<dyn Any>`                                 |
24//! | `NSNumber*`                  | `Arc<enum { I8(i8), U8(u8), I16(i16), ... }>` |
25//! | `NSError*`                   | `Arc<dyn Error + Send + Sync>`                |
26//! | `NSException*`               | `Arc<dyn Error + Send + Sync>`                |
27//! | `NSRange`                    | `ops::Range<usize>`                           |
28//! | `NSComparisonResult`         | `cmp::Ordering`                               |
29//! | `NSEnumerator<T>*`           | `Rc<dyn Iterator<Item = Retained<T>>>`        |
30//! | `NSCopying*`                 | `Rc<dyn Clone>`                               |
31//! | `NSArray<T>*`                | `Rc<[Retained<T>]>`                           |
32//! | `NSMutableArray<T>*`         | `Rc<Cell<Vec<Retained<T>>>>`                  |
33//! | `NSDictionary<K, V>*`        | `Rc<HashMap<Retained<K>, Retained<V>>>`       |
34//! | `NSMutableDictionary<K, V>*` | `Rc<Cell<HashMap<Retained<K>, Retained<V>>>>` |
35//!
36//! Note, in particular, that all "Mutable" variants use interior mutability,
37//! and that some things are thread-safe (`Arc`), while others are not (`Rc`).
38//!
39//!
40//! ## Examples
41//!
42//! Basic usage of a few Foundation types.
43//!
44//! ```console
45//! $ cargo add objc2-foundation
46//! ```
47//!
48//! ```ignore
49//! use objc2_foundation::{ns_string, NSCopying, NSArray};
50//!
51//! let string = ns_string!("world");
52//! println!("hello {string}");
53//!
54//! let array = NSArray::from_slice(&[string]);
55//! println!("{array:?}");
56//! ```
57//!
58//! ```ignore
59#![doc = include_str!("../examples/basic_usage.rs")]
60//! ```
61//!
62//! An example showing how to define your own interfaces to parts that may be
63//! missing in the autogenerated interface.
64//!
65//! ```ignore
66#![doc = include_str!("../examples/speech_synthesis.rs")]
67//! ```
