Bindings to Apple's Foundation APIs, offering an idiomatic native API via line-by-line transliteration and source-provenance headers to track upstream sources while targeting feature parity.
This is a Kotlin Multiplatform line-by-line transliteration port of objc2-foundation.
Original Project: This port is based on objc2-foundation. All design credit and project intent belong to the upstream authors; this repository is a faithful port to Kotlin Multiplatform with no behavioural changes intended.
This is an in-progress port. The goal is feature parity with the upstream Rust crate while providing a native Kotlin Multiplatform API. Every Kotlin file carries a // port-lint: source <path> header naming its upstream Rust counterpart so the AST-distance tool can track provenance.
The text below is reproduced from
https://github.com/madsmtm/objc2. It is the upstream project's own description and remains under the upstream authors' authorship; links have been rewritten to absolute upstream URLs where appropriate so they continue to resolve from this repository.
Rust bindings to Apple's framework Foundation.
This README is kept intentionally small to consolidate the documentation, see the Rust docs for more details on this crate.
