Objective-C Runtime

Gain low-level access to the Objective-C runtime and the Objective-C root types.

Overview

The Objective-C Runtime module APIs define the base of the Objective-C language. These APIs include:

  • Types such as the NSObject class and the NSObjectProtocol protocol that provide the root functionality of most Objective-C classes

  • Functions and data structures that comprise the Objective-C runtime, which provides support for the dynamic properties of the Objective-C language

You typically don’t need to use this module directly.
