# encodeNXObject:

Encodes an old-style object onto the coder.

## Declaration

```occ
- (void) encodeNXObject:(id) object;
```

## Discussion

Discussion No sharing is done across separate encodeNXObject: invocations. Callers must have implemented an encode(with:), which parallels the write: methods, on all of their classes that may be touched by this operation.
